christmas carols playing in the distance
children's laughter from the streets
the sound of cheer is in the air
but somehow it is all lost on me.
young lovers whispering sweet nothings
old couples walking hand in hand
the scent of love is in the air
but somehow it is all lost on me.
red and gold, red and green
colors of christmas, colors of love
i see nothing, no colors at all
i have gone blind, it is all lost on me.
a kiss, a hug, a fruitcake perhaps
a cup of hot coffee, a stranger's smile
little things, nice things to help me forget
but i do not - i cannot; it is all lost on me.
i wish that i could say that i feel nothing
i wish that i could say that i need nothing
i do not want what i haven't got
but man, i wish i had a hand to hold.
