First Christmas

First Christmas alone
     Did you notice it between celebrities?
Is the West coast your fantasy
     Of living, or just living without me?

I want to send you a greeting card
I'll blame it on the holidays
But it's just my heart

Snow falls on my face
     And you're in LA
Here would be a closer place
     With less distance
          But more space

I want to send you a greeting card
I'll blame it on the holidays
But it's just my heart

Your flight departs at 10
     And we both know that we've reached an end
But how can you say good-bye
     Over long-distance telephone lines
     In the middle of the holidays?

I want to send you a greeting card
I'll blame it on the holidays
But it's just my heart

And if you want to you can respond
     But the phone lines are too busy
     Y'know we're always so busy
     But how can you be too busy
          For me?

First Christmas... alone
