All Alone On Christmas
Christmas Yearning: A Melody of Hope and Loneliness
Lyrics
The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark
The weather is cold, and the streets are darkening.
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
Expressing difficulty in beginning a letter.
The bells will be ringing Saint John the Divine
Bells will ring at the Saint John the Divine church.
I get a little lonely every year around this time
Feeling lonely during the Christmas season.
The music plays all night in Little Italy
Music plays all night in Little Italy.
The lights will be going up on old Rockefella's tree
Lights will adorn Rockefeller's tree.
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
People are window shopping on Fifth Avenue.
All I want for Christmas is you
Expressing a desire for companionship during Christmas.
I've got to know (nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Questioning why anyone should be alone on Christmas.
Where do lonely hearts go (nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Wondering where lonely hearts find solace during Christmas.
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Stating that nobody should be alone on Christmas.
Things are different since you've been here last
Noting changes since the person was last present.
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Nostalgia for childhood dreams that have faded.
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year
Hoping for the person to bring hope this Christmas.
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared
Mentions the disappearance of joyful visions.
Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow
Recalling past joy of sleigh riding in the snow.
And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"
Remembering dancing to "Baby, Please Come Home."
Today's celebration is bittersweet
Describing the bittersweet nature of today's celebration.
There's mothers and children in the street
Noting the presence of mothers and children in the street.
I wanna know (nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Reiterating the belief that nobody should be alone on Christmas.
Where do lonely hearts go (nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Questioning where lonely hearts find comfort on Christmas.
No, nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas

I'm all grown up but I'm the same you'll see
Expressing that, despite growing up, the person remains the same.
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
Writing a letter because the belief in Christmas remains.
Dear Santa I've been good this year

Can't you stay a little while with me right here, oh oh
