Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues.

My baby's gone, I have no friends

Sure as the stars shine above.

The time of year to be with the one you love.

 

So, won't you tell me you'll never more roam?

Christmas and New Year's will find you home?

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain,

             A  F#m    B7     E7    A

And I'll be happy, [1: happy] once again.
