Lyrics
Well here we are on Christmas night
watching the little lights twinkle
And by the crackling firelight
my stocking hangs down in a wrinkle
All the cheer?d disappeared from the carols I knew
My holiday humor had vanished from view
Then the gift in my stocking turned out to be you
Can?t let you slip away so
Darn That Sock for making me so merry
Thought my heart was happy on its own
Darn That Sock and all the joy it carried
I found a romance there hung by the chimney with care
Now there?s mistletoe everywhere Darn That Sock
Thought Christmas was meant for sappy old souls
The hole in my sock went unmended
Why sew up that hole when an old lump of coal
Was the only gift Santa intended
No red and green tinsel for year after year
The Blues were my shade and I got ?em
The hole in my stockijng now shows something shocking
My dreams could slip right out the bottom
So it?s time to start sewing and hold that joy in
A present like you should be opened again
And Christmas is meant to be shared with a friend
Won?t let you slip away so
Darn That Sock for making me so merry
Thought my heart was happy on its own
Darn That Sock and all the joy it carried
I found a romance there hung by the chimney with care
Now there?s mistletoe everywhere Darn That Sock
From tranquilly single to ?Thank you Kris Kringle?
Ooo Darn that Sock
