On this Lonely Eve
of Christmas Night
©2019
Lyrics By A. E. F.

Once upon a Christmas Eve,
I met a girl I couldn't believe.
Her eyes were sharp,
she took me in,
And that's where all the fun be-gins.

Christmas smiles, a holiday shot,
An easy pick-up, she was not.
Christmas miracles, Christmas whiskey,
I wonder if she'll ev-er kiss me.
But, watch out now,
I'm in her sights,
On this lonely eve of Christmas night.

As Martha served a dish of cherry,
I spied a bit of mistle 'n berry.
What if I lean in?
What if I miss?
Damn, I know she's gonna be pissed.

Christmas smiles, a holiday shot,
An easy pick-up, she was not.
Christmas miracles, Christmas whiskey,
I wonder if she'll ev-er kiss me.
But, watch out now,
I'm in her sights,
On this lonely eve of Christmas night.

Did she notice my back toward the wall?
My pistol fastened; it better not fall.
It's on my ankle, and I'm crossin' a line,
but Santa Dear,
I need more time.

Christmas smiles, a holiday shot,
An easy pick-up, she was not.
Christmas miracles, Christmas whiskey,
I wonder if she'll ev-er kiss me.
But, watch out now,
I'm in her sights,
On this lonely eve of Christmas night.

The company doesn't know I'm here,
'Twas never meant to get this near.
But Christmas I can't resist her charms.
She's got me now and I can't believe,
I found her looovee-on-Christ-mas Eve!

Christmas smiles, a holiday shot,
An easy pick-up, she was not.
Christmas miracles, Christmas whiskey,
I wonder if she'll ev-er kiss me.
But, watch out now,
I'm in her sights,
On this lonely eve of Christmas night.

But, watch! out! now!
I'm-in-her-sights,
On this lone-ly Eve offf Christtt-masss night!
