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
