Blue Christmas
David Phelps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, blue, blue memories start calling
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
Oh, but I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

I'll be so blue, baby
I'll be thinking about you

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurting




You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
Oh, but I'll, I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas

Overall Meaning

The singer expresses their feelings of loneliness and sadness without their significant other, who is no longer present. The lyrics depict that everything around them is blue and dull, even the decorations on the Christmas tree that used to bring joy and happiness now mean nothing without their loved one. The blue snowflakes remind the singer of their memories and moments shared with their loved one, thus making them feel more alone.


The song effectively captures the pain and sorrow that many people feel during the Christmas season. While Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and happiness, it can also be a hard time for those who are grieving. The song portrays the idea that having a white Christmas, symbolizing all things being happy and bright, does not necessarily reflect everyone's experience, and this is something that is not often acknowledged.


Overall, the song "Blue Christmas" is a beautiful and heartfelt depiction of the difficulties many face during the Christmas season, and the emotions that come with it.
