Lonely This Christmas Lyrics
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone.
That’s where I’ll be
since you left me.
My tears could melt the snow.
What can I do
without you
I’ve got no place, no place to go
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
without you to hold
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold.
It’ll be cold so cold
without you to hold
This Christmas
And how I would listen to the things you had to say.
I just break down, as I look around
and the only things I see
are emptiness and loneliness
and an unlit Christmas Tree.
We never thought there’d be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas must have been made for us
’Cos darlin’, this is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much.
"Lonely This Christmas" was a popular single by the English glam rock band Mud, that topped the UK singles chart in 1974 and reached Christmas number one. Written and produced by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, "Lonely This Christmas" was Mud's second number one single in the UK, spending four weeks at the top in December 1974 and January 1975.It was the third number one single that year for the ChinniChap writing and production team, and was performed in the style of Elvis Presley's slower songs from his later career. Due to this, the song is often erroneously attributed to Presley.The song is noted for a memorable performance on Top of the Pops in which guitarist Rob Davis was covered in tinsel and wore Christmas baubles as earrings, while vocalist Les Gray sang to a ventriloquist's dummy.The song has been covered by Lucky Soul, Blue, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (fan club limited edition Xmas 7 inch), Little Man Tate and KT Tunstall
