Intro
Friday it's the thirteenth 'til the twentyfourth it's not so long to go
tho' my face don't show my temperature is getting too low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel alike
not to be alive anymore
Chorus
I'll be dead by christmas now anyway
tell me will you remember me that day
when you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by christmas now anyway
please give all my things away
they will make christmas presents for you and for all my friends
It hurts so inside to see you with another from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave before the angels took me away.
So here I'm all dressed in white
while you're drinkin' up my best friends wine
and you don't realize that I'm with you all the time.
Chorus
I'll be dead by christmas now anyway
tell me will you remember me that day
when you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by christmas now anyway
please give all my things away
they will make christmas presents for you and for all my friends
It's getting so lonely without you
and I'm sure - I am jealous too
I see another man in my bed
(Come up, come up)
be sure that I can get no rest before you're up here with me
Come up, come up, come up, come up, come up!
Chorus
I'll be dead this christmas now anyway
leave the flowers on my grave
sure a way you can join me anyday around honey
You'll be dead this christmas now anyway
you'll lay beside me in our family grave
we'll be making love eternally in a spiritual way
Outro
(No guitar)(Repeat & fade out)
I'll be dead by Christmas,
dead and gone.
Christmas is forever.
