White Christmas Makes Me Blue

Randy Travis · Old-Time Christmas [1989]

I sent out seasons greeting

To all our same old friends

The tree is trimmed

And in your favorite place

I decked the halls with holly

Built a snowman in the lane

I sing 'Jingle Bells'

And 'A One Horse Open Sleigh.'

But 'White

Christmas' makes me blue

Everytime I hear it play

I think of you

I remember all the good ones

We knew

Oh, 'White

Christmas' makes me blue.

I'm trying to be happy

I know you'd want me to

Being sad at Christmad time ain't right

I'm keeping our traditions

Wishing you were here

Christmas eve I still sing 'Silent Night.'

But 'White

Christmas' makes me blue

Everytime I hear it play

I think of you

I remember all the good ones

We knew

Oh, 'White

Christmas' makes me blue.

Oh, 'White

Christmas' makes me blue...
