The years have taken hold A young girl now so old She tells me she'll be fine Alone at Christmas time She has a little tree With lights for company And when I go she'll be Alone at Christmas time And though the years they tried to break you You just kept holding on How can one so fragile be so strong? I'm glad I knew you then And you called me your friend I'll raise a glass of wine To you this Christmas time ♪ And though the years they tried to break you You just kept holding on How can one so fragile be so strong? I'm glad I knew you then And you called me your friend I'll raise a glass of wine In memory La-la-la-la-la-la-lo La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-lo To you this Christmas time
