Christmas Makes Me Cry

[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.
