Lyrics
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
In tears could melt the snow
What can I do, without you?
I’ve got no place left 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
At the only things I see
Oh emptiness Oh loneliness
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
I just break down, as I look around
At the only things I see
Oh emptiness Oh loneliness
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
This Christmas
