Christmas Makes Me Cry

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, mm-mm

It's the ones we miss, no one to kiss under the mistletoe

Another 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, mm-mm

Always

Seems like everybody else is havin' fun

I wonder if I'm the only one

Whose broken heart still has broken parts

Just wrapped in pretty paper

And it's always sad seeing mom and dad

Getting a little grayer

And they always say, "Have a happy holiday"

And every year, I sincerely try

Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

Mm-mm
