Lyrics
How does Christmas feel
when you're all alone
No one to share your meal
no glad tidings on the phone
Close the door,
go in the street
Smile at the first person you meet
Make the most of God's own special day
and let me hear you say-
CHORUS
Merry Christmas to you
though I don't even know your name
Merry Christmas to you,
we're really all the same
Brothers and sisters,
sisters and brothers
We're no different from each other
we all come so close at this time of year
when Merry Christmas is what we hear
Merry Christmas is what we hear.
Verse 2
Your loved ones far away
you think of Christmas long ago
Another lonely winter's day
hear the laughter down below
How can Christmas be like this?
The mistletoe hangs without a kiss
Ghosts of Christmas fade away
Wipe your tears and say...
CHORUS
