I Do Dear, I Do. Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

I wish you happy christmas 

I do dear, I do 

I wish for you the stars, babe 

I wish for you the moon 

You can sit, and you can drink your champagne 

With your gibbering goon 

I hope he's being good to you 

I do dear, I do 

May no ill wind blow your way 

Wish that you will keep safe 

Up there in your tower babe 

With your ivory and ape 

Things down here are fragmented 

In fact they've exploded all over the room 

I think everything's a little off-center, babe 

I do dear, I do 

You said, that to love me you must set me free 

Now, that may all be very well 

Still I miss you baby 

More than words can ever tell 

Sometimes I can not sleep 

The greatness of my hate for you 

Sometimes I can not sleep 

For I miss you 

May your day be as bright as the eyes 

Of the girl that I once knew 

May your sun be happy yellow, babe 

And your sky be baby blue 

I miss your manic scratches 

And your howling at the moon 

Ten steps behind me 

With your dustpan and broom 

I hope you wish for me 

All the things I wish for you 

Health, hope and happiness 

The sun and the moon 

Say hello to the one 

Who really don't have a clue 

I'll be calling you soon 

I think I love you 

I do dear, I do.
