Blue Christmas
Kevin & Bean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinkin' 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' alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue-blue-blue Christmas

You'll be doin' alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue-blue-blue Christmas





I'll have a blue, blue-blue-blue Christmas
I'll have a blue, blue-blue-blue Christmas
