Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
I don't understand what happened to our love
But baby when i get you back
Im gonna show you what Im made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today
I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back, You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone



Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away, (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special, (special)

REPEAT

Verse 1

Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye,
Tell me baby, do you recognise me,
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.

Happy Christmas,
I wrapped it up and sent it,
With a note saying "I love you",
I meant it,
Now I know what a fool I've been,
But if you kiss me now,
I know you'd fool me again.

Chorus

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away (you gave it away),
This year to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special (special).

Repeat

Oh, Oh Baby.

Verse 2

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes,
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice,
My God I thought you were,
Someone to rely on,
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
A man undercover but you tore me apart,
Oooh Ooh,
Now I've found a real love,
You'll never fool me again.

Chorus

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away (you gave it away),
This year to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special (special).

Repeat

Face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
A man undercover but you tore him apart.

Maybe next year.

I'll give it to someone,
I'll give it to someone special .
Special...
Someone...


Well.. Merry Christmas...

Choosing a Christmas Tree

Douglas Fir
Boasting a pyramidal shape and blunt, blue-to-dark-green needles,
Pseudotsuga menziesii is a dependably long-lived cut tree. It flourishes in mild, humid climates with dry summers


Eastern White Pine
Soft-green color, long needles, and rich fragrance make Pinus strobus worthy of yuletide focus. Adaptable, fast growing, and moisture loving, it produces long, decorative pinecones.


Noble Fir
With its cool blue-green, well-spaced branches and densely set, upwardly curved needles, Abies nobilis is aptly named. It's most often a cut tree, since it grows happily only in its Pacific Northwest home.


Virginia Pine
One of the few evergreens to tolerate warm winter temps, Pinusvirginiana is a first pick among Christmas trees for Southerners. It's also a good cut tree because, like all pines, it holds its needles well.


Grand Fir
With bicolor needles—deep green on top, white-striped underneath—Abiesgrandis makes a rich foil for ornaments. It grows well where winters are long, summers are cool, and the air is humid and pristine.


Scotch Pine
A classic conical shape and excellent needle retention make Pinus sylvestris the most popular cut tree of the holidays. It's also easy to grow because it tolerates a wide range of climates and soils.


Frasier Fir
A regal, richly fragrant native tree, Abies fraseri has bicolor needles—deep green on top, silvery-white below. Its generally slender profile suits small rooms. Grow it only in cold-winter, cool-summer climates.


Eastern Red Cedar
Native to the eastern half of the United States, Juniperus virginiana makes a cut or living tree with homespun appeal and pungent fragrance. In the landscape, it tolerates drought, wind, and cold.
