"Come they told me A newborn King to see Our finest gifts we bring To lay before the King...Oh when we come" [solo: Mike] It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same It's Christmas again, I know There's only sadness in my soul It's Christmas again...It'll never be the same And as the snow is falling from the sky All I want to do is cry I got to get away from here I gotta get away.....? By tomorrow, I will be gone By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again But tonight...I am...The Little Drummer boy Tonight...I am...the one who will destroy The secrets never told before Of those who lost their souls There are sad things in the Darkness There are sad things all around us It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same It's Christmas again, I know There's only sadness in my soul It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same [solo: Andy] "Come they told me A newborn King to see Our finest gifts we bring To lay before the King..." Now here I go I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage Oh My God it's such a big disgrace It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same It's Christmas again, I know There's only sadness in my soul [solo: Mike]
