 I used to call December
 My favorite time of the year
 Trees dressed in bows
 And the lights hung in rows
 Said soon, Christmas day would be here
 Now I stand alone at my window
 Watching the crowds rushing by
 Christmas to me
 Is a sad memory
 As gray as that cold winter sky
 I used to love to see the red and green of Christmas
 In snowy white the world was like a fairytale
 But the colors of December have all run a way with you
 Now nothing looks the same to me
 Since Christmas turned blue
 Why is it I remember
 Just how you looked, how you smiled
 Why can't I see
 How the world used to be
 When I had a the eyes of a child
 Where is the magic and wonder
 Christmastime had yesterday?
 Can you begin to believe it again?
 And can broken hearts learn the way?
 I used to love to see the red and green of Christmas
 In snowy white the world was like a fairytale
 But the colors of December have all run a way with you
 Now nothing looks the same to me
 Since Christmas turned blue
