Lyrics
[Verse 1]
'Tis the season to be jolly
But how can I be, when I have nobody?
The yuletide carol doesn't make it better
Knowing that we won't be together
[Verse 2]
A silent night
I know it's gonna be
Joy to the world
But it's gonna be sad for me
[Verse 3]
(What do the lonely do at Christmas?)
(Oh, what do the lonely do) At Christmas time?
[Verse 4]
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoes
The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old
[Verse 5]
But what is left
Oh, for me to do
Now that it's Christmas
And I don't have you?
[Verse 6]
(What do the lonely do at Christmas?)
(Oh, what do the lonely do) At Christmas time?
[Verse 7]
(Oh) What do the lonely do at Christmas?
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do they do, what do they do (At Christmas?)
Oh, what do they do, what do they do (At Christmas?)
[Verse 8]
(Oh) What do the lonely do (At Christmas?)
What do the lonely do (At Christmas?)
Oh, what do they do, what do they do (At Christmas?)
