Lyrics

Well it’s gonna’ be a lonely 25th
’Cause I don’t have you to spend it with
Christmas should be bright with red and green
But so far this year blue is all I’ve seen

I went downtown and the Christmas lights were blue
And the angel by the manger looked like you
So I drove by the mall to find some Christmas cheer
But even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year

I see everything in shades of blue
It’s a symptom of a broken heart that comes from missin’ you
And Christmas ain’t the same without you here
And even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year
Even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year
Santa’s wearin’ blue

Well the Christmas carolers almost made me smile
Then they did Deck the Halls bluegrass style
And I fought back all but just one lonely tear
(’Cause) even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year

I’m sittin’ all alone in a small cafe’
And Christmas dinner is the blue plate special for today
And I just can’t shake this lonesome atmosphere
Even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year
Even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year
Santa’s wearin’ blue

Even Santa’s wearin’ blue this year
Santa’s wearin’ blue this year

(And even) Santa’s wearin’ blue
