Sunset On A Holiday

© 2008 Mark Cote

1. Halloween is just a trick with no treat
     a sour holiday with no sweet
     a hollow Jack O Lantern sits with soul removed
     smiling at you, hoping you'll approve

2. gathering around, giving thanks and saying grace
     Having loved ones to hug and to embrace
     a turkey TV dinner is so bittersweet
     with no one around, I feel so incomplete

(chorus) Watch the sunrise, watch the sunset on a holiday
                I may be the only one, to not go out and play
                watch the sunrise watch the sunset
                just another year I want hard to forget

3. a cupcake birthday made for one
     Is like a lonely beach with no sun
     am I one year older, or one more step near?
     it's hardly a party with nobody here
(chorus)

4. family with turkey, friends with gifts
     happy songs, a lonely heart lifts
     singing together in perfect harmony
     now singing solo and off-key
(chorus)
