Try to imagine

the house that's not a home

try to imagine

the Christmas all alone

That's where I'll be

since you left me

my tears could

melt the snow

What can I do

without you

I've got no place

no place to go

It'll be lonely this Christmas

without you to hold

it'll be lonely this Christmas

lonely and cold

It'll be cold, so cold

without you to hold

this Christmas

Each time I remember

the day you went away

and how I wouldn't listen

to the things you had to say

I just break down

as I look around

and the only things I see

are emptiness

and loneliness

and an unlit Christmas tree

It'll be lonely this Christmas

without you to hold

it'll be lonely this Christmas

lonely and cold

It'll be cold, so cold

without you to hold

this Christmas

Spoken...

you remember last year

when you and I were here

we never thought

there'd be an end

And I remember

lookin' at you then

and I remember thinkin'

that Christmas must

have been made for us

'Cause darlin'

this is the time of year

that you really

you really need love

When it means

so very, very much

so, it'll be

lonely this Christmas

without you to hold

It'll be so very lonely

lonely and cold

Resume singing...

it'll be lonely this Christmas

without you to hold

it'll be lonely this Christmas

lonely and cold

It'll be cold, so cold

without you to hold

this Christmas

Spoken...

merry Christmas, darlin'

wherever you are
