[Verse 1]
Don't know why we do the things we do?
Or why I chose to run away from you?
But this big city's seen the last of me
And I'll be there, darlin', I'll be there

[Chorus]
And I'll be there Christmas Eve
Darlin' don't stop believing
And don't give up hope, don't lose faith in me
'Cause I'll be there Christmas Eve

[Verse 2]
Years can rush like waves upon a shore
And weave a weary pathway to your door
Have all of our tomorrows come and gone
Like evening sunlight and stars before the dawn? Can we move on?

[Chorus]
I'll be there Christmas Eve
Darlin' don't stop believing
Don't give up hope, don't lose faith in me
'Cause I'll be there Christmas Eve

[Verse 3]
Who knows why we do the things we do?
I'm so sorry that I said those things to you
Now I can't make up for all the tears you've cried
But I'll be there, darlin', I'll be there
[Chorus]
And I'll be there Christmas Eve
Darlin' don't stop believing
Don't give up hope, don't lose faith in me
'Cause I'll be there Christmas Eve

[Outro]
Darlin' don't stop believing
Don't give up hope, don't you lose faith in me
'Cause I'll be there, and I'll be there
I;ll be there Christmas Eve
