Christmas Blues

Christmas Blues

Chestnuts are roasting and so am I,   This Christmas movie is making me cry

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?         Do I get the Blues at Christmas?

Christmas time makes me Happy and Sad,  I cry and laugh when the Grinch is so Bad

This year-old egg nog smells like cheese,  The Christmas tree is making me sneeze

I can hear the jolly sounds of Ho Ho Ho!   Yet still I’m looking for a chance of snow

Yule tide carols with jingle bells ringing,   seem off key when I hear myself singing

Chestnuts are roasting and so am I,     This Christmas movie is making me cry

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?        Do I get the Blues at Christmas?

So why does my heart feel so forlorn.  I’m supposed to be Happy! Jesus is born!  

I cry for loss, loneliness, and ends,  I cry for the good times My Love and Friends,

I cry for rain, as it washes me away,  I cry for blue skies on a beautiful day

When the night is long, I cry for the sun, I cry for the new day when it’s begun

Chestnuts are roasting and so am I,   This Christmas movie is making me cry

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?     Do I get the Blues at Christmas?

Cry to be grateful, cry to be sad, The Christmas Holidays ain’t so bad

Sing with your friends, a song of cheer, soon you can sing,  Happy New Year!

Chestnuts are roasting and so am I,  This Christmas movie is making me cry

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?          Do I get the Blues at Christmas?
