Once upon a Christmas We were together A meeting A pleasure Once upon a Christmas We parted from each other A parting A pain Once upon a Christmas Two hands held each other Close to the fire A pleasure Once upon a Christmas Two souls torn from each other Beyond the cool seas A pain Once upon a Christmas Went for long walks together In the garden of ecstasy A pleasure Once upon a Christmas Lonely nights away from each other In a cold house, in a cold bed A pain Once upon a Christmas We’ll again be together The pleasure and pain We’ll share with each other.
