While you're drinking up my best red wine
I'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
And you don't realize that
You'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
Tell me, will you remember me that day
And for all my friends
It's getting so lonely without you
We'll sell everything away
There's sure a way you could join me
Before the angels took me away
Be sure I can't get no rest
I know just how it's gonna feel
When you've found a new one
Please give all my things away
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
So, here I'm all dressed in white
I've seen it all in a dream
I've been dead since Xmas now anyway
When you've found a new one
I'm with you all the time
Who's better than I ever was?
And I'm sure, I am jealous too
Any day around now, honey
Like not to be alive anymore
Who's better than I ever was?
They'll make great Xmas presents for you
Tell me, will you remember me that day
We'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
You'll lay beside me in our family grave
Dead by Xmas, dead and gone
Though my face don't show
My temperature it's gettin' too low
I'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
Before you're up there with me
Xmas is forever
It hurts so inside to see you with another
I'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
Come up, come up, come up, come up
From the edge of a cloud
I'll be dead by Xmas now anyway
Please give all my things away
Dead by Xmas, dead and gone
[Incomprehensible]
We'll be making love eternally
And for all my friends
So, leave the flowers on my grave
In a spiritual way
To see another man in my bed
They'll make great Xmas presents for you
