COLD HOLIDAY (MERRY WENT AWAY)
Written by Tony Noyes

Winter weather came way too soon this year,
and I can still smell her sweet perfume consuming air,
where every morning she’d ready for the day,
right before she went away,
wind chill low I’m thinking somewhere around 10 below,
overcast with the crystal white fresh fallen snow,
and I keep thinking to myself why do you go?
I keep looking for a text from your phone, but it looks like I’ll be all…

Chorus:
alone on this cold holiday, because my merry went away,
I’m alone on this cold holiday, and maybe she’ll come back someday, back someday,

whiskey bottles lay around my bed empty instead,
of being full like good thoughts should be running through my head,
shades of gray not greens and reds like the lights that brighten holidays,
the window chilled and it’s fogging up with every breath,
as I draw pictures with my finger off the top of my head,
but only one name comes to mind, thought it was once carved in stone,
but it looks like I’ll be all…

Chorus:
alone on this cold holiday, because my merry went away,
I’m alone on this cold holiday, and I don’t know how to make her stay,
well I’ve tried and I’ve cried, and I still wonder why,
I can’t sleep but I still keep your memory alive,
cause I’m alone on this cold holiday, and maybe she’ll come back someday,

I need you here to chase my blues away, I know in my heart you will return someday,

I see the stars in the sky and they’re shining bright,
I wish I may and I wish I might see you tonight,
but standing in my door in the moonlight,
t’was the gift that I sought all along,
well it looks like I won’t be…

Chorus:
alone on this cold holiday, well my merry returned today,
I’m alone on this cold holiday, and I hope that she is here to stay,
who knew being blue that I could see this through,
but all along I believed in you,
and I’m not alone on this cold holiday, I knew she would come back someday, yeah,
not alone oh no, no no I’m not alone,
not alone oh no, No…I’m not alone,
not alone oh no, on this cold holiday.
