This time next year I'll be home lighting candles
[Tahun depan sekarang, aku akan di rumah menyalakan lilin]
Tryin' to just get on with my life...
[Mencoba untuk melanjutkan hidupku...]
And this time next year hope I'm through
[Tahun depan sekarang, semoga aku sudah bisa]
with the hurtin'
[melewati rasa sakit ini]
Tryin' to get you out of my mind...
[Mencoba mengeluarkanmu dari pikiranku...]

So, don't try to play like you're not that concerned
[Jadi, jangan berpura-pura kalau kamu tidak peduli]
And don't try to say that your heart doesn't burn
[Dan jangan bilang kalau hatimu tidak terbakar]
So, tell me
[Jadi, katakan padaku]

How can you say that our love isn't special?
[Bagaimana bisa kamu bilang cinta kita tidak istimewa?]
How can you say
[Bagaimana bisa kamu bilang]
That our love wasn't true?
[Kalau cinta kita tidak nyata?]
And how can you say
[Dan bagaimana bisa kamu bilang]
You can take it or leave it
[Kamu bisa terima atau tidak]
When I'm missing you and you know
[Ketika aku merindukanmu dan kamu tahu]
You'll be missing me, too?
[Kamu juga akan merindukanku, kan?]

This time next year I'll be out buying presents
[Tahun depan sekarang, aku akan keluar beli hadiah]
And something will remind me of you...
[Dan sesuatu akan mengingatkanku padamu...]
And this time next year I'll be out having dinner
[Tahun depan sekarang, aku akan keluar makan malam]
And run into some friends we both knew...
[Dan bertemu dengan beberapa teman yang kita kenal...]

Oh, don't try to play like you won't be concerned
[Oh, jangan berpura-pura kalau kamu tidak peduli]
And don't try to say that your heart doesn't yearn
[Dan jangan bilang kalau hatimu tidak merindukan]
Oh, tell me
[Oh, katakan padaku]

Chorus

Come early Christmas morning
[Datang pagi Natal yang awal]
I'll be having my coffee and I'll think of you
[Aku akan minum kopi dan memikirkanmu]
And the things we used to do
[Dan hal-hal yang biasa kita lakukan]
And you know it will be breaking my heart...
[Dan kamu tahu ini akan menghancurkan hatiku...]
'Cause the holidays are special
[Karena hari-hari libur itu istimewa]
it will always play a part
[selalu memiliki peran]
In my heart...
[Di hatiku...]
