It feels like we're supposed to be happy during the holidays
But, sometimes they just make you really sad
So, I wrote this song for anybody
That might be feeling a little bit lonely

It's all red and gold
And Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree
It's all twinkle lights
And snowy nights and the 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
'Nother 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

It 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 greyer

And they always say, "Have a happy holiday" and
Every year, I swear, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
Always
