"I'm Christmas(s) Texting You" -I'm Sharing One Of My Fav Holiday Tunes

First off let me start by saying "Happy Holidays to you", if you haven't received a (mass) text or personal (automated) phone call, or Facebook message from me wishing you that by now. Hope you had a joyous one, really...I do! But at the same time I'd like you to remember there IS a B-side (pun intended) to all this holiday joy that folks experience. Not to be a "Debby Downer" but some people DO spend the holidays alone as depressing as that my sound. For some it my be by choice, some by bad chance. Well al that aside, I wanted to share one of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite artist (Prince) that was a B-side to a Purple Rain single back in the day. Sad song, but so powerful at the same time. Dig if you will a song, and I'll see you guys in due time on New Year's Eve ("Casino Royale").


"Another Lonely Christmas." -Prince

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno 4 money
And u robbed me blind
Remember how u used 2 scream so loud
Cuz u hated that number 9
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
U know, u are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Listen

Do you still like banana daiquiris?
Boy we used get so tight
Oh you used get so horny
You'd let me leave the lights on
I'd pay money just to see you laughing,
Dancing, silhouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear you smiling
Sometimes I think you're here
I find myself holding every pillow
On the bed you & I used to share
Last night I spend another Christmas
Darling you should be, you should be here

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Listen

My momma used 2 say
"Always trust your lover"
Now I guess that only applies 2 her
Cuz baby u promised me
Baby u promised me u'd never leave
Then u died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby

Last night I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, u, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said u were dead
And I, I said it's senseless
Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear u smilin' baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas night
Yeah, night yeah
Another lonely Christmas night

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the 1's I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
