It's Gonna Be a Cold Cold Christmas
Dana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

According to the radio
Warmer weathers on the way
The chances are we won't be getting snow
But even if the sun shines from now to Christmas Day
As far as I'm concerned, I know

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

Yesterday I saw your mom and dad
We bought our cards together
I've put the presents on the Christmas tree
And as I write this letter
It's warm, inside
The log fire's burning bright, oh darling
If only you were here, to make it right

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

I didn't bother with the mistletoe
You won't be here to kiss me
The only consolation that I've got
I know for sure you'll miss me
It won't be long
Until you're home again, and we can
Share these magic moments, but 'til then

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you




Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a

Overall Meaning

time of heartache and sadness for the singer, as they face the holiday season without their significant other. The first verse talks about how the radio forecasts a warmer winter, and that there may be no snow, but despite the potential sunshine, the singer knows that it will still be a cold Christmas without their loved one. The second verse reveals that the singer has already done some of the preparations for the holiday season, such as buying cards and putting presents under the tree, but the warmth that should accompany these activities is missing because their partner is not there to share the joy.


The third verse continues in the same vein, with the singer lamenting that there will be no one to kiss under the mistletoe, and that the only thing they can hold onto is the knowledge that their partner will miss them too. The song ends with a sense of hope that their loved one will return soon and that they can once again share the magic of the holiday season together.


Overall, the lyrics depict the loneliness and isolation that can come with the holiday season, especially when one is missing an important person in their life. The warm, cozy fire burning brightly in the hearth is a stark contrast to the cold and emptiness that the singer feels without their loved one. It is a bittersweet reminder that while the holiday is meant to bring people together, sometimes circumstances make it impossible to do so.
