Christmas makes me cry
When I remember you and I
All wrapped up in festive joy
A very happy girl and boy
Christmas makes me cry

December suddenly arrives on cue
The winter chill is upon us too
Christmas is on the horizon 
As the hustle and bustle ensues 
For some a happy joyful time
For others they get the seasonal blues
There's no escaping the commercial side
All you can do is enjoy the ride

Christmas makes me cry
And I often wonder why
But you are no longer here
So I shed a regretful tear
Christmas makes me cry

I recall kissing you under the mistletoe
Your eyes were sparkling and you did glow
You taking pride decorating the tree
Sitting in front of a roaring fire
A glass of mulled wine and a mince pie
I could feel your love and desire

Christmas makes me cry
When I remember you and I
But I know you are watching over me
So I will raise a smile just for thee
Christmas makes me cry
