I went so numb on Christmas day[00:00:22]
I couldn't feel my hands or feet[00:00:24]
I shouldn't have come[00:00:30]
She made me pay[00:00:32]
For gleaming with Donald down her street[00:00:34]
She put blame on him[00:00:41]
And shame on me[00:00:43]
She made it all seem so tawdry and cheap[00:00:46]
"Oh let's be nice Mama open up your gifts[00:00:53]
You know happiness is the best facelift"[00:00:57]
I mean after all she introduced us[00:01:13]
Oh but she regrets that now[00:01:16]
Shacked up downtown[00:01:24]
Making love without a license[00:01:25]
Same old sacred cow[00:01:29]
She said "Did you come home to disgrace us "[00:01:35]
I said "Why is this joy not allowed [00:01:39]
For God's sake I'm middle-aged Mama[00:01:46]
And time moves swift[00:01:50]
And you know happiness is the best facelift"[00:01:52]
Oh love takes so much courage[00:02:43]
Love takes so much shit[00:02:47]
He said "You've seen too many movies Joni"[00:02:52]
She said "Snap out of it "[00:02:58]
Oh the cold winds blew at our room with a view[00:03:04]
All helpful and hopeful and candlelit[00:03:09]
We kissed the angels and the moon eclipsed[00:03:17]
You know Happiness is the best facelift[00:03:20]
We pushed the bed up to the window[00:03:36]
To see the Christmas lights[00:03:40]
On the east bank across the steaming river[00:03:47]
Between the bridges lit up Paris-like[00:03:52]
This river has run through both our lives[00:03:58]
Between these banks of our continuing delights[00:04:02]
Bless us don't let us lose the drift[00:04:11]
You know Happiness is the best facelift [00:04:16]
