about

2020 has been the most challenging year for everyone and, like so many others, I haven't been able to see my parents this year. I miss them both loads. They're both safely tucked up in their respective homes, so I've had to come to terms with the fact I won't be seeing them this Christmas.

This song is for them and for anyone else who'll be missing someone this festive season. Better days will follow.

At least 50% of every download will be donated to Age UK to support their work tackling loneliness in the UK.

lyrics

Santa can you do me a favour?
I know it's been years since I have written a letter
But there's a special message I need you to deliver
Next year will be better, next year will be better

My mother lives so far away
So I was thinking maybe if you pass in your sleigh
You could take a minute just to drop in and say
Next year will be better

This year there may be silent nights
There'll be no hugging under Christmas lights
But we'll sign hallelujah when we all reunite
Next year will be better, next year will be better

My father he's been home alone
It's just not the same catching up on the phone
It's a simple message but it needs to be known
Next year will be better

The same house where you last visited me
So if you've still got your magic skeleton key
Could you leave a note under his Christmas tree
Next year will be better, next year will be better

Ooooh, I'll be driving home for Christmas
Ooooh, no more silent nights

Santa can you do me a favour?
I know it's been years since I have written a letter
There's a special message I need you to deliver
Next year will be better, next year will be better
'Cause we'll be together
