Another Lonely Christmas - Prince, Brownmark, Wendy Melvoin

Last night i spent another lonely christmas

Darling, darling, u should’ve been there

Cuz all the 1s i dream about

U are the 1 that makes my love shout

U see, u are the only 1 i care 4

Remember the time we swam naked

In your father’s pool?

Boy he was upset that night

But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money

And u robbed me blind

Remember how u used 2 scream so loud

Cuz u hated that number 9

Hey, i saw your sister skating on the lake

This afternoon

Good heaven how she’s grown

She swoons the boy skaters she’s so tall

But of all your father’s children

All your father’s children, baby

U know, u are the finest of them all

U are brighter than the northern star

Last night i spent another lonely christmas

Darling, darling, u, u should’ve been there

U see, of all the 1s i dream about

U are the 1 that makes my love shout

U see, u are the only 1 i care 4

Yeah

My momma used 2 say

Always trust your lover

Now i guess that only applies 2 her

Cuz baby u promised me Baby u promised me u’d never leave

Then u died on the 25th day of december

Oh baby

Last night i spent another lonely, lonely christmas

Darling, baby, u, u should’ve been there

Cuz all the 1s i dream about

U are the 1 that makes my love shout

U see, u are the only 1 i care 4

Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia

Your mother said it was strep

But the doctor said u were dead

And i, i say its senseless

Every christmas night 4 7 years now

I drink banana daquaris 'til i’m blind

As long as i can hear u smilin’baby

U won’t hear my tears

Another lonely christmas is mine

Yeah, mine

Yeah

Another lonely christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, i spent another lonely, lonely christmas

Darling, darling, u should’ve been there, yeah

Cuz all the 1's i dream about

U are the 1 that makes my love shout

U see, u are the only 1 i care 4
