This Year Lyrics

You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine 
I ain't gonna stop until I make you mine 
You'll be my April Fools, my Mardi Gras 
The music on my tongue when I sing "fa la la" 

You'll be my flower child, in the month of May 
My sunny summer lover on my holiday 
You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween 
Winter, snow and everything that's in between 

This year, I'm gonna take you home 
This year, I don't wanna be alone 

This year, this Christmas together 
And the minutes they pass to the ice that falls 
This year, this Christmas forever 
And the weeks and the months go brushing by 
This year, we've learned how to live 
How to forget, and how to forgive 
Well I feel, just love this Christmas this year 

You'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind 
The shimmy on my hip so when I walk upright* (not sure) 
You'll be my Santa boy, all dressed in red 
Ride the little reindeer on the roof ahead 

Here we go 
This year, I'm gonna take you home 
This year, I don't wanna be alone 

This year, this Christmas together 
And the minutes they pass to the ice that falls 
This year, this Christmas forever 
And the weeks and the months go brushing by 
This year, we have learned how to live 
How to forget, and how to forgive 
Well I feel, just love this Christmas this year 

This year I'll pray for you, and I thank God for you 
I just wanna be with you, this year that's all I wanna do 

Day by day, I'm gonna get my way (this year I'll pray for you) 
Seasons time, I've got a lot to learn* (not sure) 

This year, I'm gonna gonna take you home 
Cuz I don't wanna be alone 

This year, this Christmas together 
And the minutes they pass to the ice that falls 
This year, this Christmas forever 
And the weeks and the months go brushing by 
This year, we have learned how to live 
How to forget, and how to forgive 
Well I feel, just love... 

This year, we have learned how to live 
How to forget, and how to forgive 
Well I feel, just love this Christmas this year
