Michael Bubl・ 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
When those blue oh-snowflakes, are falling
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

Overall Meaning

The song Blue Christmas by Michael Bublé is a classic holiday ballad that expresses the loneliness and heartache that can come with the holiday season when you're missing someone special. The song begins with Bublé singing about how he'll have a blue Christmas without the person he's singing about. He goes on to say that even the decorations on the Christmas tree won't be the same without this person. The chorus of the song talks about how memories of this person come flooding back whenever it snows, and how he'll be having a blue Christmas while this person is likely having a merry one.


Throughout the song, Bublé's voice is full of longing and pain, expressing how hard it is for him to celebrate the holiday season without this particular person. The song is a poignant reminder that, even though the holidays are supposed to be a time of warmth and joy, they can often be difficult for those who are missing loved ones.

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

You'll be doing alright
With your christmas of white
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

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 memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

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