Michael Bubl¨¦ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
That's when those blue memories, start calling (hey)
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas in white
And I'll have a blue blue blue Christmas
(Oh let's go, let's go)
(Alright J, man, let's go J)
And when those blue oh-snowflakes, start falling
Well that's when those blue oh-memories, start calling
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas all white
And I'll I'll have a blue blue blue Christmas
Yes I'll, I'll have a blue oh Christmas
The lyrics to Michael Bubl¨¦'s Blue Christmas convey a deep sense of longing and nostalgia for a loved one who is no longer there. The use of the color blue throughout the song represents sadness and loneliness. The singer is clearly experiencing a difficult time during the Christmas season, as they are reminded of the memories they shared with their loved one in previous years. The decorations of red on a green Christmas tree are no longer enough to bring joy to the singer, as they are unable to imagine celebrating the holiday without their companion.
The snowflakes falling serve as a trigger for the singer, as the memories they shared with their loved one begin to resurface. While the singer acknowledges that their loved one may be doing alright and enjoying the holiday in their own way, they are unable to shake the sadness they feel. The repetition of "blue blue blue" emphasizes the intense emotions the singer is experiencing and concludes the song on a somber note. Overall, the lyrics to Blue Christmas capture the heartache that can accompany the holiday season and the difficulty of moving on without a loved one.

With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

This version of this song is one of the best I have ever heard. I love the New Orleans jazz flair in the song. The jazz band is amazing!!
