Yule Tide Me Over

I may never take you home to meet the family

Or wait to see you walking down the wedding aisle

We can't know exactly where we'll be next Christmas time

But darling, you'll tide me over for a while

I don't often go to places on this side of town

And I'm not often looking for a chance to dance

But the end of the year is drawing near, my dear

It's almost Christmas and I'm ready for romance

Don't try to fool me with disinterested looks

If it's not right, I guess we're old enough to know

Let's try to get to know each other better than we do

And spend the holidays beneath the mistletoe

I may never take you home to meet the family

Or wait to see you walking down the wedding aisle

This could turn into an everlasting love

But as for now, honey, you'll tide me over for a while

And I'll tide you over for a while

There's nothing wrong with snatching solace from despair

With no apologies, we both have much to share

I'd grab this moment now to be your one and only

It's late December, there's too many people lonely

You'll tide me over, baby

You'll tide me over, honey

You'll tide me over for a while

About a week ago, my love walked out on me

Don't even try to hide the sadness in your eyes

There's still a stack of presents for her underneath the tree

But you're as beautiful and just about her size

I may never take you home to meet the family

Or wait to see you walking down the wedding aisle

We can't know exactly where we'll be next Christmas time

But darling, you'll tide me over for a while

You'll tide me over for a while

And I'll tide you over for a while

You'll tide me over, honey

You'll tide me over, darling

You'll tide me over for a while

And I'll tide you over in my spine
