Christmas time can be so blue
When nobody loves you
Christmas time can get you down
When all that you hear is that happy sound

Of children singing in the street;
Flashing lights on the Christmas trees
It's no fun being on your own,
Living in a house that's not a home

It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
Can't wait for summertime to reappear
Get so lonely at the happiest time of the year

A new Stone Roses record at Christmas time
Is more likely to happen than a friend dropping by
Christmas card from Joey Ramone
And a Beach Boys record from Italophone

A million stars shining in the sky
Like diamonds dancing in my baby's eyes
At Christmas time you can wish for the moon
But all of your wishes will never come true

It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
It's just me and Leonard Cohen for Christmas
Can't wait for summertime to reappear
Get so lonely at the happiest time of the year
