Christmas Alone
Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]
But it's not for me since you have gone
It seems that I'll be left without a Christmas gift
I'll be spending Christmas all alone.
No one to wish me Merry Christmas
No one to say that new years coming on
I wish that I could share the laughing everywhere
But I'm spending Christmas all alone.
I could hang up my best friend
But I'm sure that Santa knows
I'll be spending Christmas all alone
Darling, I'm so blue because I'm missing you
I'll be glad when Christmas time is gone.
No one to wish me Merry Christmas
No one to hang the presents on the tree
Much as I hate to say it will be a lonely day
There's no one to share the fun with me...
