Intro
Gm A# F
[Verse 1]
Gm A# F
It’s Christmas eve once again
Gm
lights are all glowing and yet
A# F
everything’s different
[Verse 2]
Gm A# F
Still the fire’s cracklin
Gm
outside it’s snowing and
A# F
I’m well into the gin
[Chorus]
D# A#
I forgot to ask for anything
F D#
and I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring
A# F
but still I’ll dream ‘til Christmas day
D# D
that you’re coming home
Gm A# F
[Verse 3]
A# F
Such a beautiful tree
Gm
sparkling like icicles
A# F
and I wish you could see
[Verse 4]
A# F
Put your star at the peak
Gm
hung up your stocking and
A# F
poured some whiskey for me
[Chorus]
D# A#
I forgot to ask for anything
F D#
and I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring
A# F
but still I’ll dream ‘til Christmas day
D# D
that you’re coming home
[Outro]
Gm
Frost on the windows and lights that are twinkling
flannel pajamas and afternoon drinking
F
snow in the branches and Crosby is crooning
splash of the Baileys for coffee that’s brewing
D#
peppermint candies and sleigh bells that jingle
cognac for breakfast and fresh almond kringle
F
bright glossy paper and ribbons of satin
Gm
wreaths wrapped in velvet, a double Manhattan for me
