Staring up at the ceiling
Such a strange kind of feeling
Waiting for sympathy
Waiting for sympathy
Living in my apartment
Working in the department
Waiting for sympathy
Waiting for sympathy
To arrive
But nobody speaks to me
In the mall there's a choir
Everybody's inspired
Singing for sympathy
Sharing their sympathy
And i feel it surround me
All the child around me
Sharing their sympathy
Feeling their sympathy
For a while
It's been so far away from me
Something tells me Christmastime is here
Everything is nice this time of year
Get the family together
Tell me what could be better?
I can't tell you why
Christmas makes me cry
And the evening is magic
But it's also so tragic
Sharing our sympathy
Feeling our sympathy
Its like a dream without sorrow
Til we wake up tomorrow
Losing our sympathy
Waiting for sympathy
To arrive
Nobody speaks to me
Something tells me Christmastime is here
Everyone is nice this time of year
Mistletoe above 'em
Take yer stockings and stuff 'em
I cant tell you why
Christmas makes me cry
La la la la la la la....
