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 could 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 the things you had 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.



(Spoken)

You remember last year when you and I were here

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

Cos darling, this is the time of year

that you really need love

when it means so very, very much



(It ll be lonely this Christmas)

So it ll be lonely this Christmas

(without you to hold) without you to hold

(It ll be lonely this Christmas)

It ll be so very lonely this Christmas

(Lonely and cold) lonely and cold



(Singing)

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.



(Spoken)

Merry Christmas, darling - wherever you are.
