	1.	Working On Christmas 02:24	lyrics
	Just as we’re sitting down, you’re about to get up Working for double time, but, it’s never enough Enough to know you’re not alone, when you’re not with me at home You’re working on Christmas I’m watching the time Everyone’s eating, and you’re on the line You’re working on Christmas - but, everything is all right Just as you’re heading out, out into the quiet streets You’d look through every window, just to see how it feels, to know That no, you’re not alone, when you’re not here with me at home You’re working on Christmas I’ll turn off the lights Everyone’s sleeping, but you’re on a night You’re working on Christmas, but everything is all right Cause time will melt away like snow Oh, time it melts away the soul When it counts, oh, it moves so slow But, soon you’ll be with me back home You’re working on Christmas I’ll turn on the lights You’re on your way home, I’m watching the time You’re working on Christmas, but everything is fine

I wrote this song for my wife Marta, who is a nurse. It goes out to anyone who has ever had to be away from their families during the holidays.
