No Place Like Home on Christmas lyrics

City sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing people passing meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city

Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of street lights even stop lights blink a bright red and green

My Christmas list grows shorter every year things just aren't the way they were before

My Christmas list grows shorter every year it's almost not like Christmas anymore

I guess it's cause I came from a pretty big family

Christmas was always a big happy time
We used to swap presents with aunts uncles and cousins

Course most of the presents just came from the five and dime

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 mean a thing dear if you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain and when that blue heartache starts hurtin'

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white but I'll have a blue blue Christmas

[ guitar - steel ]

There's a whole lotta people lookin' down their noses at me

Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family

I guess I learned to take it for most of the year

But every December when Christmas drew near
And all the other families were out spreadin' cheer we was sittin' home being po' folks

Our Christmas shopping was thumblin' through the new catalog
