Lonely Time of Year

Copyright DL Yuen 2002

A                                                                                                          E7
It’s a lonely, lonely time of year when it's Christmas and you have no one dear

E7
Why slice a turkey when you’ll only eat one wing?

E7                                                                            A
What good’s a carol when you’re the only one to sing?

A                                                                                                                   E7
It’s a lonely, lonely time of year when there’s no one whose arms will hold you near

E7
Why put tinsel on a tree when there’s no one else to see?

E7                                     A
It’s a lonely, lonely time of year.

Chorus

A                   D7                                          A
I don’t know how I’ll make it through this time

A                E7                                  A
There’s no warmth in the fireplace for this heart of mine

A      D7                  A
With no one sitting near

A       E7                   A
It’s a lonely time of year

A       E7                   A
It’s a lonely time of year

Ever since you said I should set you free there has been no Christmas joy for me
Why wrap presents just to open them yourself
Now I leave them in the store there on the shelf
It’s a lonely, lonely time of year
When there’s no one who wants to call you dear
No mistletoe above my door, I won’t kiss you there any more
It’s a lonely, lonely time of year.

Chorus
