Daddy will be home for Christmas
Don't you worry, baby
Daddy will be home for Christmas
He'll be here soon, maybe

Last year he couldn't make it
But maybe this year he's changed
Maybe this year he's a different man
Maybe his schedule's been rearranged

Daddy will be home for Christmas
He will be coming home pretty soon
Daddy will be home for Christmas
I'm sure he wants to give you the moon

Why hasn't he shown up yet?
Why isn't he here?
He said he'd find time
Maybe it's something severe

Daddy will be home for Christmas
He promised me this year
Daddy will be home for Christmas
So wipe away those tears

He can't abandon us
We're his own kin
But I suppose we'll be alright
So put on a grin

Daddy will be home for Christmas
Although the chances are getting slim
Daddy will be home for Christmas
So stop looking so grim

Christmas has come
And Christmas has gone
He has lied to us again
But, we have to move on

Daddy will be home for Christmas
Well, maybe next year
Daddy will be home for Christmas
But it's not a promise, dear

Us sisters have to stick together
And it is our number one rule
Because we both know
He hasn't been home since pre-school

Daddy won't be home for Christmas
But I suppose that is okay
Daddy won't be home for Christmas
Because we know our bond has decayed

He'll never be home
All he needs is his booze
At least we've run away
Now we can't be abused

Daddy won't be home for Christmas
I suppose that's lucky for us
Daddy won't be home for Christmas
So now we don't have to hear him cuss

The way the two fight
Brings back old memories
Mommy and daddy...
Stop fighting... please?

Sad. crying
But aside from that, nice rhyming, and the repition of the same lines gives it a good flow. Their are a couple lines where I think the syllables are slightly off, but it could just be that I'm not accenting the right places when I read it. You so totally put me to shame.

Wow. I really like that.
It actually made me shed a tear or two since it hit so close to home for me.
But like Illiandra said, nice rhyming.



That's all it takes.
To buy a gun.

Thanks, but yeah this wasn't even personal, so I'm surprised that it went so well together. Thanks for the comment. If you post something I'd be more than happy to comment back!
