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