Christmas
Michael Bublé 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, oh, snowflakes, are falling
That's when those blue memories start calling (hey)
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas
(Oh, let's go, let's go)

(Woo)
(Alright J-man, let's go J)

And when those blue, oh, snowflakes, start falling
Well, that's when those blue ol' memories start calling
You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white




And I'll, I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Yes, I'll, I'll have a blue, oh, Christmas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Bublé's song "Blue Christmas" describe the loneliness and ache one feels when spending the festive holiday apart from a loved one. The color blue is used to portray the feeling of sadness and depression associated with the emotions of missing someone so close to your heart. The lyrics depict the sense of emptiness one feels without the person they love, and how everything around them, such as the Christmas decorations and snowflakes, merely serve as painful reminders of their absence. The phrase "And when those blue, oh, snowflakes, are falling / That's when those blue memories start calling" shows the power of memory and how it can trigger feelings of sadness and longing.


The last verse hints at the idea that the person the singer is missing may have moved on and is having a white Christmas elsewhere. The line "You'll be doin' alright, with your Christmas of white" could be interpreted as a message of hope, acknowledging that the other person has moved on and is finding happiness, but the singer is still struggling to come to terms with their own emotions. The repetitions of "blue" in the chorus highlight the depth of the singer's sadness and make the song all the more poignant.
