The cold wind is blowing and the streets are getting dark

I'm writing you this letter though I don't know where to start

The bells will be ringing Saint John Divine

I get a little lonely every year around this time

The music plays all night in Little Italy

The lights will be going up on Rockefella's tree

People window shopping on Fifth Avenue

But all I want for Christmas is you

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be

Alone on Christmas

Things are different since you've been here last

Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past

Maybe you can bring us some hope this year

Visions of sugar plums have all disappeared

Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow?

And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"

Today's celebration is bittersweet

There's mothers and children crying in the street

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be

Alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be

Alone on Christmas

I've got to know

Where do lonely hearts go?

Where do lonely hearts go on Christmas?

I'm all grown up but I'm the same you see

I'm writing you this letter cause I still believe

Dear Santa Clause, I'm still right here

Waiting for you to come this year

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be

Alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be

Alone on Christmas
