RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS

She says there's gonna be some changes around here
As she puts the garland on the Christmas tree
She says there's been too many nights alone this year
And she's starting to think about her own needs
He says he knows he's been wrong and feels contrite
And he says that time alone with her can help to make things right
Right after Christmas

chorus
Right after Christmas things are gonna be better
There's something 'bout the season that brings hope
They can smile one more time for the kids and their folks
But they promise they are going to make things right
Right after Christmas

She says it's hard to get past he damage done
But the snow is falling down like drops of peace
First she says she wants to stay and then she wants to run
But the Carols playing set her mind at ease
The whole world knows it's the season not to fight
And if they can make it through New Year's things will be all right
Right after Christmas
