[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, mm-mm

[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, mm-mm
Always

[Verse 3]
Seems like everybody else is havin' fun
I wonder if I'm the only one
Whose broken heart still has broken parts
Just wrapped in pretty paper
And it's always sad seeing mom and dad
Getting a little grayer
