Ann-Margret Oliver Reed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your, your Christmas of white
Ooh
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I will experience a melancholic Christmas in your absence
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
My thoughts of you will make me feel sorrowful
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
The traditional festive ornaments on a tree symbolize joy and love
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
The absence of your presence will diminish the holiday's significance
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
When feelings of sadness and nostalgia intensify
That's when those blue memories start calling
Memories of past moments evoke a sense of longing
You'll be doin' all right, with your, your Christmas of white
You will manage fine, enjoying a typical joyful Christmas
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Nevertheless, I will experience a deeply saddening Christmas

When I was 14 and my little sister was 10, my parents dropped us at the movie theater (they used to do this frequently when they wanted to get rid of us for a couple hours). They dropped us in this movie one night. We were scarred forever. We still talk about it. i am 60 years old now.

Right my Mom took us to see this and we also had the sound track album. She embarrassed us in the theater when they show the weird uncle Ernie part she laughed so loud and hard and we slipped down 2 rows to avoid being seen with her lol

I’m nearly 50, this movie we watched as children it terrifying for a kid. But now it’s the best movie as it shows the truth...such cruel parenting needs to be seen

Iwas 13 when I saw Tommy for the first time. My favourite film still
@silversnail1413
It's a great film but it probably should have been rated R instead of PG. A lot of parents probably brought their kids to it thinking it was a kid's movie, but it really isn't with the heavy themes and insane imagery.

Lol!
