Jim Croce - It Doesn't Have To Be That Way

Jim Croce

It Doesn't Have To Be That Way

Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
Icy windowpanes,
Make me wish that we could be
Together again.
And the windy winter avenues
Just don't seem the same,
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
But the choir is not to blame.

But it doesn't have to be that way.
What we had should never have ended.
I'll be dropping by today.
We could easily get it together tonight.
It's only right.

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
Tinseled afternoons,
And the sidewalk bands play their songs
Slightly out of tune.
Down the windy winter avenues
There walks a lonely man,
And if I told you who he is,
Well I think you'd understand.

But it doesn't have to be that way.
What we had should never have ended.
I'll be dropping by today.
We could easily get it together tonight.
It's only right.

No, it doesn't have to be that way.
What we had should never have ended.
I'll be dropping by today.
We could easily get it together tonight.
It's only right.

Mirror lyrics:

It's only right.
We could easily get it together tonight.
I'll be dropping by today.
What we had should never have ended.
No, it doesn't have to be that way.

It's only right.
We could easily get it together tonight.
I'll be dropping by today.
What we had should never have ended.
But it doesn't have to be that way.

Well I think you'd understand.
And if I told you who he is,
There walks a lonely man,
Down the windy winter avenues
Slightly out of tune.
And the sidewalk bands play their songs
Tinseled afternoons,
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,

It's only right.
We could easily get it together tonight.
I'll be dropping by today.
What we had should never have ended.
But it doesn't have to be that way.

But the choir is not to blame.
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
Just don't seem the same,
And the windy winter avenues
Together again.
Make me wish that we could be
Icy windowpanes,
Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
