Blue Christmas
Embracing Solitude: A Blue Christmas Reflection by Jann Arden
Lyrics
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I will experience a sad and melancholic Christmas in your absence.
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
I will feel deeply sad just by contemplating thoughts of you during the holiday season.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
The traditional Christmas tree is adorned with red decorations against its green branches.
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
The holiday won't be the same and will lack joy if you are not present with me.
And the when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
When the symbolic blue snowflakes start falling, a sense of sadness sets in.
That's when those blue memories start callin'
These blue snowflakes trigger memories that evoke a feeling of sadness and nostalgia.
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
You may be doing well with a picturesque white Christmas, but my experience will be tinged with sadness.
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Despite others having a joyful Christmas, mine will be consistently blue and sorrowful.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Reiteration of the impact of your absence on the traditional Christmas tree decorations.
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
The holiday loses its essence and joy without your companionship.
And the when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
Similar to earlier, the falling of blue snowflakes intensifies the emotional impact.
That's when those blue memories start callin'
These snowflakes trigger memories that bring about a sense of sadness and longing.
You'll be doin' all right, in your Christmas of white
Others may be enjoying a Christmas filled with white snow, but mine will remain blue and somber.
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Reiteration that, despite external appearances, the speaker's Christmas will be marked by sadness.
Oh, I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
A repetition emphasizing the enduring and pervasive nature of the speaker's blue Christmas.
Oh, I'll have a blue Christmas
A concluding statement reiterating the expectation of a melancholic Christmas.
