[Verse 1] It's all red and gold and Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree It's all twinkle lights and snowy nights and 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 [Verse 2] 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 Always [Verse 3] Seems like everybody else is having fun I wonder if I'm the only one Who's 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
