What is Christmas without You?
What is Christmas without you, my love
The snow is there, the stars too
Winter has set in
The night is very, very blue.
Frosty, breezy, cold
Need the warmth of your love, my love
To thaw me down
And feel cosy at home.
I am like the icy stone
Who waits and waits and waits
On the deserted roads of lonely nights
For you to find me and pick me up
And cradle me in your arms
Trace me down with your fingers
And embrace me in your warmth, my love.
What is Christmas without you?
Have the phone on hand,
My e-mail too
Mobile is on.
And the other evening
When I saw your name on my PC
When you added me to your list of ‘Friends’
I was in tears and smiles
Accepting your invitation
To join your YM
And yet I know

And write to you…
For once it starts
It starts all over
Beyond boundaries
Sans social barriers
And then we end up
Fighting over the right and the wrong
Like sorting a needle in the haystack
And then love flows out of the window
Like the thin, invisible air…
For we are left with
Who is right and who is wrong
You or me, we cannot decide.
And yet my love,
What is this Christmas without you?
Without talking to you?
I miss those fights too.
Without hearing that deep resonance
Of your manly voice
