Lonely This Christmas

This is arguably the most depressing Christmas song of the lot, it makes me miserable just reading the lyrics, let alone listening to the song itself. But I've saved this song for Xmas Day itself, because while I will be with my family today (well some of them), I would trade that for a day spent with a girlfriend in a heartbeat. This will be my 29th Xmas with my family, maybe next year I can celebrate the 30th one with a partner. I'll be with people I love and who love me today, and yet the hopeless romantic in me is going to be terribly lonely all day long. While I hate hearing this song, it is the one Xmas song that truly represents me.

Lonely This Christmas by Mud

Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be
Since you left me

My tears would melt the snow
What can I do
Without you
I've got no place, no place to go

It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to things you have to say
I just break down, as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas Tree

It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

You remember last year, when you and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas must have been made for us
Cause darlin' this is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much

It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas

Merry christmas darlin', wherever you are.
