The lyrics talk about spending Christmas away from a loved one, with the singer expressing sadness and longing through the color blue, often associated with melancholy.
I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me And the when those blue snowflakes start falling That's when those blue memories start calling You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas Set8 I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me And the when those blue snowflakes start falling That's when those blue memories start calling You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas Set8
