Cm   D#           Fm         A#
Oh, my friends I've begun to worry right
Cm     D#                 Fm            A#
Where I should be grateful, I should be satisfied
Cm    D#      Fm              A#
Oh, my heart I would clap and dance in place
Cm     D#         Fm                     A#
With my friends, I have so much pleasure to embrace

Chorus:
Cm    D#         Fm          A#
But my heart is returned to Sister Winter
Cm    D#         Fm        A#
But my heart is as cold as ice

Oh my thoughts, I return to summertime
When I kissed your ankle,
I kissed you through the night
All my gifts, I gave everything to you
Your strange imagination, you threw it all away

Chorus:
Now my heart is returned to sister winter
Now my heart is as cold as ice

All my friends, I've returned to sister winter
All my friends, I apologize, apologize
All my friends, I've returned to sister winter
All my friends, I apologize, apologize
All my friends, I've returned to sister winter
All my friends, I apologize, apologize

And my friends, I've returned to wish you
all the best!

And my friends, I've returned to wish you
all the best!
G#    D#            Fm           A#
And my friends, I've returned to wish you
all the best!
G#    D#            Fm           A#
And my friends, I've returned to wish you
a happy Christmas!

To wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas
