| It feels like we’re supposed to be happy during the holidays
|
| But, sometimes they just make you really sad
|
| So, I wrote this song for anybody that might be feeling a little bit lonely
|
| It’s all red and gold and Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree
|
| It’s all twinkle lights and snowy nights and the 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
|
| It 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 swear, I sincerely try
|
| Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
|
| Always |
