It's all red and gold
And Nat King Cole
And tinsel on the tree
It's all twinkle lights
And snowy nights
And kids still believe
And I know that they say
"Have a happy holiday"
And every year
I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas
It always makes me cry
It's the ones we miss
No one to kiss
Under the mistletoe
Another year gone by
Just one more that I
I couldn't make it home
And I know that they say
"Have a happy holiday"
And every year
I swear I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas
It always makes me cry
Always
Seems like everybody else
Is having fun
I wonder if
I'm the only one
Who's broken heart
Still has broken parts
Just wrapped in pretty paper
And it's always sad
Seeing mom and dad
Getting a little grayer
And they always say
"Have a happy holiday"
And every year
I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas
It always makes me cry
