Blue Christmas
Lonely Holiday Echoes: Unwrapping the Heartache of Blue Christmas
Lyrics
It's that time of year christmas coming on
Expressing the anticipation of Christmas approaching
And waiting for New Year but I'm on my own
Feeling alone while waiting for the New Year
Don't know what I did wrong
Confusion about what went wrong in the relationship
But you're not comin' home
Acknowledging that the person won't be returning home
For those who live for Christmas time
Acknowledging people who eagerly await Christmas
Like lots of people do
Describing the common excitement during Christmas
Here's a new kind for you my blue Christmas
Introducing a new, melancholic experience of Christmas
For those who live for Christmas time
Reflecting on past enjoyment of Christmas
Like I used to do i can't live without you
Expressing the inability to live without a significant other
My blue Christmas
Emphasizing the sadness of the current Christmas
Big suprise
Noting a surprising situation
Everyone's got laughter in their eyes
Observing others' happiness contrasted with personal tears
But I got tears in mine everyone
Feeling emotional pain despite others' advice
Says I'm better of without you
Contradicting the belief that separation is beneficial
That the feeling's gone they're wrong
Disagreeing with the idea that the feeling is gone
For those who live for Christmas time
Connecting the sadness to the Christmas season
Like lots of people do
Acknowledging the widespread celebration of Christmas
Don't know if I'll pull through
Uncertainty about overcoming the emotional struggle
My blue Christmas
Reiterating the emotional state during Christmas
I used to live for Christmas time
Recalling past enjoyment of the Christmas season
Like lots of people do
Expressing dependence on the absent significant other
I can't live without you my blue Christmas
Highlighting the melancholy of the current Christmas
I'm waiting by the telephone
Waiting eagerly for a call that never comes
That used to come that you're comin' home
Expecting the return of a loved one, but it doesn't happen
But it never comes, it never comes
Expressing disappointment at the absence of the expected call
Don't know what I did wrong
Reiterating confusion about the relationship's breakdown
Summer, winter, spring, and fall
Mentioning the passing of seasons without the significant other
Have come and gone without you, without you
Highlighting the enduring absence throughout the year
It's that time of year christmas coming on
Repeating the anticipation of Christmas and New Year
And waiting for New Year but I'm on my own
Reiterating the loneliness during the holiday season
Don't know what I did wrong
Expressing confusion about the relationship's breakdown
But you're not comin' home
Acknowledging the absence of the significant other
For those who live for Christmas time
Connecting the emotional struggle to the Christmas season
Like lots of people do
Acknowledging the widespread celebration of Christmas
Don't know if I'll pull through
Expressing uncertainty about overcoming the emotional struggle
My blue Christmas
Reiterating the melancholy of the current Christmas
I used to live for Christmas time
Recalling past enjoyment of the Christmas season
Like lots of people do
Expressing dependence on the absent significant other
I can't live without you my blue Christmas
Highlighting the melancholy of the current Christmas
My blue Christmas my blue Christmas
Repeating the emphasis on a sad Christmas
