Letra de «Christmas Song for All Year 'Round»
they got Christmas Muzak
piped in through the ceiling
and the refills of coffee
are always for free
and the waitress on graveyard
and the surly night manager
are wishing that all of us losers would leave
there's a star on the sign at the Texaco Station like the star long ago on that midnight clear as I look all around at these cold, empty faces I doubt that you'd find many wise men here
and I'm dreaming about a silent night holy night when things were alright and I'm dreaming about how my life could have been if only, if only, if only but somewhere down the road I gave up that fight merry Christmas it's Christmas at Denny's tonight
once I had a home and a wife and a daughter had a company job earning middle-class pay then Lisa got killed by a car near the schoolyard and my wife started drinking just to get through each day
I will never forget that little red wagon turning to rust all alone in the rain one morning I flagged down a truck on the highway I just couldn't bear to go back there again
and I'm dreaming about a silent night holy night when things were alright and I'm dreaming about how my life could have been if only, if only, if only well, it's not just the blind man who loses his sight merry Christmas it's Christmas at Denny's tonight
they say life's made of cruel circumstance fate plays the tune and we dance dance til we drop in the dust and we're gone and the world just goes on
the cop at the counter he's the guardian angel he watches these orphans through dark mirrored shades and the register rings like a bell sadly tolling for the fools we've become and the price that we paid
oh when I was a boy I believed in Christmas miracle season to make a new start I don't need no miracle, sweet baby Jesus just help me find some kind of hope in my heart
and I'm dreaming about a silent night holy night when things were alright and I'm dreaming about how my life could have been if only, if only, if only but I'll still be here at the morning's first light merry Christmas it's Christmas at Denny's tonight merry Christmas it's Christmas at Denny's tonight
there's a star on the sign at the Texaco Station like the star long ago on that midnight clear as I look all around at these cold, empty faces I doubt that you'd find many wise men here
and I'm dreaming about a silent night holy night when things were alright and I'm dreaming about how my life could have been if only, if only, if only but somewhere down the road I gave up that fight merry Christmas it's Christmas at Denny's tonight
