Though my face don't show
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel
Like not to be alive anymore
I'll be dead by Christmas
When you've found a new one
Who's better than I ever was?
I'll be dead by Christmas
Please, give all my things away
They'll make great Christmas
Whatever happened to the promises
Before the angels took me away
So, here I'm all dressed in white
And you don't realize that
I'm with you all the time
I'll be dead by Christmas
Tell me, will you remember
When you've found a new one
Who's better than I ever was?
I'll be dead by Christmas
Please give all my things away
They'll make great Christmas
To see another man in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest
Before you're up there with me
Come up, come up, come up, come up
So, leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me
Any day around now, honey
You'll lay beside me in our
We'll be making love eternally
We'll be dead by Christmas
We'll sell everything away
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
