Lyrics:

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas Tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
While I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Ahhhh Ohhh

You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
While I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
While I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas
