Lyrics:

Tis the season for one another
Happy just to be of good cheer
No longer excited for Santa
Or the coming year

Cups of wine are all that I wish for
That and someone lovely to hold
No longer excited for presents
Now I'm getting old

Don't you worry, I will hurry
Back in time for Christmas
So save a chair
And I'll be there to see you

Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
Cus nothing can forever stay the same
No longer children living in a fantasy
It's ruined and there's no one we can blame
But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye
A reminder that it all will be okay
So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
But Christmas is with us to stay
Oh to stay

Chestnuts used to roast by the fire
Now they sit alone on the shelves
People used to help as required
Now they help themselves

Wrapping up in warm winter clothing
Going out to play in the snow
Jack frost used to nip at our noses
A long time ago

In the cold dear, we'll grow old here
Thinking ‘bout our Christmas
So take your time
You’ll see I'm still with you

Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
Cus nothing can forever stay the same
No longer children living in a fantasy
It's ruined and there's no one we can blame
But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye
A reminder that it all will be okay
So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
But Christmas is with us to stay

It's going nowhere so everyone settle in
Drink your wine and drink your beer and have a little gin
Cus you’d better believe in something even on a whim
There's Jesus Christ and Santa Clause when things are looking grim

So even if you're all alone
Find a Christmas of your own
Grab a chair and I'll be there to see you
You know I'll be there to see you

Maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
Cus nothing can forever stay the same
No longer children living in a fantasy
It's ruined and there's no one we can blame
But maybe there's a twinkle just behind the eye
A reminder that it all will be okay
So maybe Christmas isn't what it used to be
But Christmas is with us to stay
