Blue Christmas
Engelbert Humperdinck 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 the blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
In this classic Christmas song, Engelbert Humperdinck sings about the sadness and loneliness that comes with spending Christmas without a loved one. The lyrics express a deep longing and ache for someone who is no longer around to share in the holiday festivities. The line "I'll have a blue Christmas without you" sets the tone for the entire song, as it emphasizes the singer's sorrow and pain. The use of the color blue further reinforces this sentiment, as blue is often associated with sadness and sorrow.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of memories and how they can be bittersweet reminders of what is lost. The line "That's when those blue memories start calling" signifies how memories of past Christmases spent with the loved one can heighten the feelings of loneliness and sadness during the present holiday season. The contrast between a "Christmas of white" and a "blue Christmas" highlights the stark difference between the singer's experience and that of their loved one. While the loved one may be enjoying a Christmas filled with joy and love, the singer is left to deal with their pain on their own.

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
My Christmas will be sad and lonely without you.
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
I will feel melancholy and unhappy when thoughts of you come to mind.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Even though the tree is cheerful with red and green decorations, it won't bring me joy without you.

And when the blue snowflakes start falling
As soon as the snowflakes start falling and everything is covered in a blue hue,
That's when those blue memories start calling
memories of us together during Christmas time start to resurface.
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
If you celebrate Christmas without me, surrounded by a white snowy wonderland, you will be fine.
But I'll have a blue Christmas

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white

But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
However, I will still be feeling sad and down throughout the entire holiday season without you present.
