It was the first ever Christmas on my own
Not a good year – not easy
I could have gone to so many places – fly away
Or spend the day with someone who knows me
Knows what I've been through
Then on the day
She called to say these words to me:
“Why don't you let me be who I want to be?
Why dont you let me do all the things I want to do?
Maybe in another time another life we'll be lovers again”.
So from those broad sunlit uplands came a chill
Christmas day got colder
I realised I'd have to release her
Let her go
I love her so I'll have to release her – my estrellita
Called her up. Apologised.
Explained some things – at least I tried to
I said, “Be those things that you want to be
Why don't you do the things that you've always wanted to do
Maybe in another time another life we'll be lovers again”.
