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