'Tis the season to be jolly
But how can I be when I have nobody
The yuletide carol doesnt make it better
Knowing that we wont be together
A silent night, I know its gonna be
Joy to the world but its gonna be sad for me
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas time?
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoes
The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old
But what is left, oh, for me to do
Now that it's Christmas and I dont have you
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas time?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas?
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do they do, what do they do at Christmas?
Ooh, what do they do, what do they do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas?
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do they do, what do they do at Christmas ?
