Everybody waits for Christmas,
For me it's New Year's Day
That's gonna come and take my blues away.
I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas
And hoping for a better day,
When it doesn't hurt to feel this way.
And everywhere there's joy around this first day of time of year
And happiness has never felt so far away.
[Chorus:]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before.
I know that the next one will be different so much more.
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way.
All that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's day.
It's only seven days till Christmas,
Six more till New Year's day.
It's not a good time to feel this way.
Everywhere the snow surrounds you
And melts your troubles away,
I can only hope to feel the same.
I know they'll be tied into joy this time next year
But happiness has never felt so far away…
[Chorus:]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before.
I know that the next one will be different so much more.
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way.
All that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's day.
I remember how I used to feel at Christmas.
[Chorus: 2x]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before.
I know that the next one will be different so much more.
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way.
All that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's day.
