[Intro]
It feels like we're supposed to be happy during the holidays
But, sometimes they just make you really sad
So, I wrote this song for anybody that might be feeling a little bit lonely

[Verse 1]
It's all red and gold and Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree
It's all twinkle lights and snowy nights and the kids still believe

[Refrain]
And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

[Verse 2]
It's the ones we miss, no one to kiss under the mistletoe
Another year gone by, just one more that I, I couldn't make it home

[Refrain]
And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I swear, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
Always

[Verse 3]
It seems like everybody else is having fun
I wonder if I'm the only one
Who's broken heart still has broken parts just wrapped in pretty paper
And it's always sad seeing mom and dad getting a little grayer
[Refrain]
And they always say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I swear, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
Always
