I’ll be alone this Christmas,
It almost was my choice,
Stuck at home this Christmas,
I might as well rejoice.
I won’t miss the London traffic,
And I won’t miss the lights,
Mister Frost can’t hurt me,
But the mistletoe just might,
So I’ll stay away from Holly,
And bundle up real tight,
And celebrate Christmas alone.
I’ll make myself a snowman,
If I need company.
He’ll appreciate my cooking,
And he’ll maybe talk to me.
We’ll make plans for our children,
And places we’ll all go,
And the fantasy will melt with the snow.
I’m by myself this Christmas, (chuckle)
That’s more gingerbread for me. Mmmmm (chuckle)
No one else this Christmas,
Why bother trimming the tree?
I’ll hang a single stocking,
And I'll fill it on my own.
I’ll somehow stop
Checking my phone.
I won’t believe in spirits
As the rafters groan,
And I celebrate Christmas alone.
I’ll be alone this Christmas,
For the first time in a while. Ooooh
But at least this Christmas,
I won’t need to fake a smile.
Ooooh mmmm
