LYRIC FOR SALE

By Johnny

Christmas eve the little boy couldn't sleep
From his window he saw her across the street
In his fireman peejays he snuck out the door
Two cups of hot cocoa spilling on the floor
He handed her one, she smiled so bright
And he sang to her
What you doing for Christmas tonight?

Childhood sweethearts then off to college
Homecoming games and pink corsages
Many months apart, he needed her smile
She ran open arm as he pulled in her drive
A heart filled with holiday cheer
And he sang to her
What you doing for Christmas this year?

Christmas Eve again he wanted her forever
Nervous to ask but they belonged together
On the porch she sipped on a cup of hot tea
De JA vu and a flood of memories
She smiled so sweet as he held her tight
With ring in hand he sang

What you doing for Christmas for the rest of your life?
Come away with me and be my bride
Let me hold you forever starting tonight
What you doing for Christmas for the rest of your life

Fifty years later his first holiday alone
She fell ill in July now she was gone
Christmas Eve night he also crossed over
To a place that seemed oh so familiar
From her porch she floated light as a feather
And she sang to him

What you doing for Christmas forever?
Come with me for eternity together
Fly with me where the angels gather
What you doing for Christmas forever?
