"All Alone On Christmas" lyrics

The cold wind is blowing and the streets are getting dark
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
The bells will be ringing, Saint John the Divine
I get a little lonely every year around this time

The music plays all night in Little Italy
The lights will be going up on ol' Rockafella's tree
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you

I've gotta know (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Oh, nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas

Things are different since you've been here last
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year?
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared

Do you remember sleigh ridin' in the snow?
And dancin' all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"?
Today's celebration is bittersweet
There's mothers and children in the street

I wanna know (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Oh, nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas

I'm all grown up but I'm the same, you'll see
I'm writing you this letter 'cause I still believe
"Dear Santa, I've been good this year
Can't you stay a little while with me right here?"

Oh, I've gotta know (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
'Cause nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas

Tell me, why, where do lonely hearts go? (Nobody oughta be alone on Christmas)
Nobody oughta be all alone on Christmas
