This Christmas
Michael Jackson · Other Songs - Michael Jackson
against my window pain
and wonder if you
are watching snowflakes too
I take a walk downtown
to where you used to meet me
There's joy everywhere
but all that waiting there is
[Chorus]
Just a little Christmas tree Lookin sorta sad and lonely
just like me No one seems to care They just went away
and left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve
I hear the Christmas bells
(Bum Bum Bum)
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer that only brings me tears
I sadly close my eyes
and say a little prayer
you'll be waiting there for me
I look but all I see is
[Chorus]
Just a little Christmas tree Lookin sorta sad and lonely
just like me No one seems to care They just went away
and left it standing there All alone on Christmas eve
This is the season of love
(This is the season of love)
But I'm as sad as I can be
(sad as can be)
Why did you have to leave me
(Why did you leave me)
(Why did you leave me)
[Chorus]Just a little Christmas tree Lookin sorta sad
and lonely just like me No one seems to care They just
went away and left it standing there All alone on Christmas eve
This Christmas
Michael Jackson's 'This Christmas' stands as a poignant holiday staple that blends his signature pop sensibilities with a soulful, gospel-infused tone. Recorded during the late 1990s, the track reflects the artist's enduring commitment to social consciousness and spiritual themes, echoing the message found in his earlier work like 'Heal the World.' The song features a distinctive arrangement that highlights Jackson's vocal range and emotional delivery, creating an intimate atmosphere distinct from his high-energy dance tracks. It serves as a bridge between his commercial pop success and his deeper, more reflective musical explorations, resonating with listeners seeking both festive cheer and meaningful reflection during the holiday season.
