All four seasons came and went

We′re right back here again

Something about when it's about to snowI think we might have a chance

And love is not a feeling

It′s the gift you choose to give

And my back seats full of your presents

I'm so sick of learning my lesson

It's not a holiday without you

But after all that you put me through

I can′t keep doing that same old thing

Hoping something′s gonna change no

Cause the days are getting shorter

(Cause the days are getting shorter)

And the fires burning low, I know

Every time I let you, how-my-gonna-let you go

Maybe next year

I'll have someone who feels like home

And I won′t spend the nights alone

Waiting around out in the cold

Maybe next year

I'll be so far from what we had

With a love that′ll love me back

But right now this heartaches all I have

Maybe next year

Dodging snow and mistletoe

I'm at your house again

Wasn′t my plan, it's more like a habit

A familiar place to land

Everything inside me's saying, baby don′t go in

You take for granted the hand you′ve been handed

You string me along and you know I can't stand it

It′s not a holiday without you

But after all that you put me through

I can't keep doing that same old thing

Hoping something′s gonna change no

(Somethings gonna change, no)

Cause the days are getting shorter

(Cause the days are getting shorter)

And the fires burning low, I know

Every time I let you, how-my-gonna-let you go

Maybe next year

I'll have someone who feels like home

And I won′t spend the nights alone

Waiting around out in the cold

Maybe next year

I'll be so far from what we had

With a love that'll love me back

But right now this heartaches all I have

Maybe next year

OH

MAYBE NEXT YEAR I′LL KNOW

MAYBE NEXT YEAR I′LL KNOW

MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL LET YOU GO

OH NO

MAYBE NEXT YEAR I′LL KNOW

I'LL KNOW, OH OH OH, NO OH . . .

MAYBE NEXT YEAR
