Maybe Next Year Lyrics

Know I'm wishing you the best dear

And I'm praying, I can see you next year

Every Christmas you been on my wishlist

I admit, that I really really missed this

By the fire, looking at the snowfall

This year know I'd settle for a phone call

To reconnect know it's gonna take a while

But the memories left me with a smile

Dear son, sending you my love, yeah

I'm five years off the booze and the drugs, yeah

I'm doing better cleaning up my act, yeah

But it doesn't take away from the fact

That I took this family, more than just cash, yeah

I've done things I can never take back, yeah

And I know that it isn't no excuse, yeah

But I'm working through the trauma of my youth, yeah

And overtime all the dots start connecting

See I been sitting with my thoughts I'm reflecting

And plus I try to work 'em out with a therapist

The pain stays but I'm happy I'm aware of it

Hope you're happy with the family you've found

And one day hoping I can come around

I'll be sitting by the fire with my boy, yeah

Happy holidays praying for your enjoy

Know I'm wishing you the best dear

And I'm praying, I can see you next year

Every Christmas you been on my wishlist

I admit, that I really really missed this

By the fire, looking at the snowfall

This year know I'd settle for a phone call

To reconnect know it's gonna take a while

But the memories left me with a smile

Dear mom, I wish that you were better, yeah

And I don't know why I'm writing you this letter, yeah

A good chance that you'll never even read this

But I feel like I really really need this

Though I'm praying for best I can't trust fate

I been up late, praying for an update

And I'm still dealing with the shock

Playing back the time that I heard it from the doc

That you'll never walk, even if you live

Sitting with the memories oh what I would give

To have another Christmas giving you the gifts you deserve, yeah

I'm crying hard as I'm writing down these words, yeah

Hold your hand as your laying in the bed

I been thinking about things I should have said

But these memories giving me relief, yeah

I know you're there even if you stay asleep

Know I'm wishing you the best dear

And I'm praying, I can see you next year

Every Christmas you been on my wishlist

I admit, that I really really missed this

By the fire, looking at the snowfall

This year know I'd settle for a phone call

To reconnect know it's gonna take a while

But the memories left me with a smile
