Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come
[solo: Mike]
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again...It'll never be the same
And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away........
By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight...I am...The Little Drummer boy
Tonight...I am...the one who will destroy
The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
[solo: Andy]
Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
[solo: Mike]
