Lonesome Christmas
I am alone on Christmas day
Without a single friend
No Christmas cheer to give away
Nor Christmas cards to send
No table with a Christmas spread
No star above a tree
No fat man with a suit of red
Will stop to visit me
No kisses under the mistletoe
No bells for me to ring
No present with a shiny bow
No Christmas songs to sing
No visits from my family
No calls on the phone
One more Christmas memory
One more day alone
