Christmas Blues
Christmas Blues: Rain in My Heart, Love Apart
Lyrics
Well it's Christmas time, everybody
It's Christmas time, a festive period for everyone
But it's raining in my heart
Despite the season, I feel sadness or emotional pain
Well it's Christmas time, everybody
Reiterating that it's Christmas time
But it's raining in my heart
Expressing the emotional turmoil or sadness within despite the holiday season
And you know that I love you, baby
Expressing love for someone
Tell me, why must we be apart?
Questioning the reason for being separated despite the love
Well you told me New Year's Eve,
Recollection of a promise made on New Year's Eve about being together by Christmas
We'd be together Christmas time
Reiterating the promise made about being together for Christmas
Well you told me New Year's Eve,
Reflecting on the promise made earlier
We'd be together Christmas time
Expressing disappointment as it's Christmas Eve, and the partner is not present
Well, it's Christmas Eve, my darling
Anticipation of the partner's presence during the festive bells
You'll be here when the bells begin to chime
What is a ship without a crew?
Question posed about the importance of a ship's crew
What is the morning without the dew?
Metaphorical comparison - morning's essential element (dew) with its absence
What is a ship without a crew?
Reiteration of the importance of a ship's crew
What is the morning without the dew?
Reiterating the metaphor about the morning's essential element
What is my life little darling?
Reflecting on life without the beloved, particularly during Christmas, feeling lonely
A lonely Christmas without you.
Summarizing the feeling of loneliness during Christmas due to the absence of the beloved
