Wrapping Presents for Myself Songtext
von Chris Isaak

Wrapping presents for myself
Christmas music doesn′t help
And I'm wondering, will it always hurt this way?
Just another lonely, empty holiday

And I wish you merry Christmas
And I wish you happy holidays
And I wish you a very merry Christmas
And I wish, I wish to God things weren′t this way


You are there, and I am here
The children's voices sound so clear
I can hear them
In the background while they play
I should go now, while I can
It's hard for me to understand
How two people so in love
Could end this way

And I wish you merry Christmas
And I wish you happy holidays
And I wish you a very merry Christmas
And I wish, I wish to God things weren′t this way

Christmas dinner on a paper plate
I can′t remember what I ate
I stayed at home, I stayed alone
I still replay

And I wish you merry Christmas
And I wish you happy holidays
And I wish you a very merry Christmas
And I wish, I wish to God things weren't this way
Oh, I wish, I wish to God things weren′t this way
