It Doesn`t Have to be That Way — текст песни (Jim Croce)

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.
