Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Bum, bum, bum, bum
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Bum, bum, bum, bum
Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Bum, bum, bum, bum
That s where I'll be since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What could I do without you?
I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Bum, bum, bum, bum
Each time I remember the day you went away
Bum, bum, bum, bum
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Bum, bum, bum, bum
You remember last year when you and I were here
Bum, bum, bum, bum
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking
Christmas must have been made for us
'Cause darling, this is the time of year
That you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
So it'll be lonely this Christmas
(Without you to hold) Without you to hold
(It'll be lonely this Christmas)
It will be be so very lonely this Christmas
(Lonely and cold) Lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are

Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be, since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do, without you?
I've got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down, as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
You remember last year, when you and I were together?
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas must have been made for us
'Cause darlin', this is the time of year that you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
So it'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be so very lonely
Lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas darlin', wherever you are...

Sitting here in the cold, now an old man, I was privileged to work with these guys the Xmas after it came out,at a well known night club in Oldham. The memories that have just flooded back from when I was a cocky young disc jockey thinking old age would pass me buy has brought tears to my eyes. So you young ones enjoy every moment, it goes quicker than you think. MERRY CHRISTMAS especially to any of the old crew from Baileys or Cats whiskers.

This song breaks my heart. The lyrics speak for me in any event. I lost in May my beloved husband after 21 years of happy marriage. We used to enjoy twice the Christmas time as on 24th - Christmas Eve was his birthday also. This year I spent Christmas alone, looking at our pictures from previous years when we were together and happy. Indeed, my tears could melt a mountain of snow.😢
