alone for the holidays

Singer:peter cetera

she said she always loved this time of year

and how they used to celebrate when he was here

then he went away

nothing more to say

he's not coming home

she's gonna be alone for the holidays

she wrote down every word in her diary

she reads it now and then

to remind her of how it used to be

he's not here today

there's nothing more to say

he's not coming home

she's gonna be alone for the holidays

she cries all night on christmas eve

she just gets by on christmas day

she's lost her will

but kept her faith

but he's not coming home

she's gonna be alone for the holidays

she cries all night on new year's eve

she just gets by on new year's day

she's lost her will

but kept her faith

he's never coming home

she's going to be alone

alone for the holidays
