Snowy nights and Christmas lights,

Icy windowpanes,

Make me wish that we could be

Together again.

And the windy winter avenues

Just don't seem the same,

And the Christmas carols sound like blues,

But the choir is not to blame.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,

Tinseled afternoons,

And the sidewalk bands play their songs

Slightly out of tune.

Down the windy winter avenues

There walks a lonely man,

And if I told you who he is,

Well I think you'd understand.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

No, it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

Maybe I'm not listening at the right times, but I have never heard this song on the radio during the holiday season. Shame.

how come the radio never seems to play this great song at christmas????? Listen to the words. He was a great artist. It is such a shame we had to lose him so young.

This is the only Christmas song that says I'm so lonely, how I miss you Christmas sucks without you, what we had should never have ended, I'll be dropping by today song.....whoa that's where it gets a bit dicey. You're realizing this is the first Christmas Stalking song ever. I like to think Jim had a sense of fun & added "I'll be dropping by today" just to see if anyone would notice - he was way ahead of his time. I always cry when I hear this. He is so missed.

Another good pseudo-Christmas song is River by Joni Mitchell.

Even Jim Croce could tell a story with a Christmas song like this.

I share Jim Croce's unappealing look but sadly none of his talent.

Why is it all the good people die too young. It must be easier to die young if you were not prepared. Instead of being an old fart like most of us become. Stay young in heart! We miss you Jim Croce!!!
