Christmas Morning

Wake up little darling

it's Christmas morning

the sun is up, it's time to open

all the gifts that you've been given

You had been dreaming

angels are singing

but now they're gone

and once again it's time

to go on with our lives

Lets hope that the next year

will be better than the last year

and somehow we’d all get by

and maybe the time will come

when we wont need to pretend

to be happy for just a while

World keeps on turning

fools keep on wishing

and when you wake

you’ll find that everything

is not what we dreamed them to be

Wake up little darling

it's Christmas morning

so rise and shine

lets make the most of happy holidays

or maybe i should just

let you dream for a while longer

wherever's a better place than here.

**This is a cut from the Eraserheads' Christmas album, Fruitcake. It is a shame that not many songs became famous from that album because I believe that Fruitcake is the best album from the Eraserheads. I love this song because it paints a realistic picture of the morning after Christmas. That of melancholy. Where we don't need to pretend that all is jolly and happy and we have to face the world yet again, this time without the numbing Christmas euphoria yet still hopeful that there's a better place out there, even if it can only exist in our dreams.**
