C
  Snowy nights and Christmas lights,

G7
  Icy window panes,

D7
  Make me wish that we could be

G7
  Together again

          C
  And the windy winter avenues

Dm7
  Just don't seem the same,

C
  And the Christmas carols sound like blues,

          C
  But the choir is not to blame
CHORUS:

  Em
  But it doesn't have to be that way

C
  What we had should never have ended

                    Em
  I'll be dropping by today

F
 D7
 'Cause we could easily get it together tonight

G7
  It's only right

C
  Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,

G7
  Tinseled afternoons,

          D7
  And the sidewalk bands that play their songs

                     G7
  Slightly out of tune

         C
  On the windy winter avenues

G7
  There walks a lonely man,

      C
  And if I told you who he is,

         C
  Well I think you'd understand


[CHORUS 2x]
