Every Year, Every Christmas Luther Vandross

[Verse 1]
I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
So here I am every year, every Christmas
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas

[Bridge]
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely? Don't tell me it's fine
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

[Verse 3]
So much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah, hey
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

[Bridge]
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause, oh, I wonder, yes I wonder
Are you gonna leave me standing here?
Today's almost over, but I don't wanna leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
