Текст песни Another Lonely Christmas - Prince

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played Pokeno for money
And you robbed me blind
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cause you hated that number nine

Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake
This afternoon
Good Heaven how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters she's so tall

But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
You know, you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the northern star and I

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you, you should've been there
You see, of all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Yeah

My momma used to say
Always trust your lover
Now I guess that only applies to her
'Cause baby you promised me
Baby you promised me you'd never leave
Then you died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby

Last night I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, you, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Yeah

Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said you were dead
And I, I say it's senseless

Every Christmas night for seven years now
I drink banana daquaris 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear you smilin' baby
You won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine
Yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there, yeah
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Another lonely
