Christmas Time (Make It Up To You) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another day, another mess
Full of empty promises
That I'm not sure I'm ever gonna keep
I hate to call you up again
You pretend you understand
And I pretend I don't know what it means

[Chorus]
Honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you at Christmas time

[Verse 2]
Oh, on the cold December nights
Put up a tree with little lights
Sinatra playing softly on the peak
I swear I'll make it worth the wait
Just hold on 'til the holidays
I'll show you that you're everything I need

[Chorus]
Oh, honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you another time

[Bridge]
The nights are getting longer
Oh, I'm counting down the days
To give you all you wanted

[Chorus]
Honey, I don't want to let you down tonight
But I got stuck at work again and it might be a while
So don't stay up, save the candles and the wine
I'm gonna make it up to you
Yeah, I know I'll make it up to you
Oh, I swear I'll make it up to you at Christmas time
