Текст песни Chip Taylor - It's Such A Lonely Time Of Year

Snow falling down children all around
And I'll be their Santa Claus clown
It's a time for girls and boys
Just look at me, happy as can be
Taking pleasure just to see them...
Playing with their toys

I haven't heard a word from you
And wondering what your doin'
Wish that you could see them too
And be here by my side
And almost every day one of them will say
Why'd he ever have to go away
And the tears are so hard to hide

It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And any day when you're not here

Now Johnny's getting big and Mary's like a twig
And little Joe's so grown up....
He helped daddy trim the tree
And looking at him now it's funny but somehow
I get the strangest feeling
Your standing right here by me
Now he's so much like a man
Reaching for my hand
And trying so hard to understand
Just why my mood is changed
I got to turn my face away
I don't know what to say
Try to get myself together
And keep from calling out your name

It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And any day when you're not here

Yes, It's such a lonely time of year
Holidays and birthdays
And summer days and winter days
And rainy days and sunny days
Any day when your not here.
