[Verse 1]
Everybody waits for Christmas
For me it's New Year's Day
That's gonna come and take my blues away
I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas
And hoping for a better day
When it doesn't hurt to feel this way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And everywhere there's joy around this festive time of year
And happiness has never felt so far away

[Chorus]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
I know that the next one will be different
So much more
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way
But all that I want this year for Christmas
Is New Year's Day

[Verse 2]
It's only seven days till Christmas
Six more till New Year's Day
It's not a good time to feel this way
Everywhere the snow surrounds you
And melts your troubles away
I can only hope to feel the same
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know there'll be tidings of joy this time next year
But happiness has never felt so far away

[Chorus]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
I know that the next one will be different
So much more
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way
But all that I want this year for Christmas
Is New Year's Day

[Bridge]
I remember how I used to feel at Christmas

[Chorus]
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
I know that the next one will be different
So much more
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way
But all that I want this year for Christmas
Is New Year's Day
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
I know that the next one will be different
So much more
All of the bells ringing out for Christmas
And I'm not supposed to feel this way
But all that I want this year for Christmas
Is New Year's Day
