Alone at Christmas

Sometimes the bells ring far too loud

It's dizzying, you're in a crowd

Sometimes the snow is deep and high

You build a fire and stay inside

Sometimes the meaning of holiday joy

Gets lost in all the details of the day

Sometimes an evening alone makes you think

Perhaps this year I'll stay

Alone at Christmas, alone at Christmas

It sounds so sad, it's not all bad

On my ownsome, it's never lonesome

At home, just me, with nowhere else to be

Sometimes the season is hard to bear

The gifts to buy, the clothes to wear

Sometimes the cheer is all too much

It breaks your heart, breaks you apart

Sometimes the stockings, the tree, and the star

Leave you feeling lonely as before

Sometimes the shopping and lists make you think

Maybe less is more

Alone at Christmas, alone at Christmas

It sounds so sad, it's not all bad

On my ownsome, it's never lonesome

At home, just me, with nowhere else to be
