Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be, since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I got no place, no place to go

It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down as I look around
And the only things I see
Are loneliness and emptiness
And an unlit Christmas tree

It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

Do you remember last year
When you and I were together?
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas must've been made for us
'Cause, darlin', this is the time of year that you really
You really need love
When it means so very, very much

It'll be lonely this Christmas
(So, it'll be lonely this Christmas without you to hold)
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
(It'll be so very lonely, lonely and cold)
Lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

Merry Christmas, darlin'
Wherever you are
