[Verse 1]
Well, I'm slipping into Christmas
I'm sliding into New Years'
And I'm missing all your kisses
Baby, since you're not here
The special thing you give me
I won't find underneath my tree
And I'm feeling sad and lonesome
Wishing you were here with me
[Verse 2]
And I'm feeling kind of useless
Bought a secondhand Christmas tree
And I'm sneaking into sorrow
These blues have got a hold on me
Well, I know tis the season to be jolly
But Scrooge ain't got a thing on me
And so I'm slipping into Christmas
Wishing you were here with me
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm slipping into Christmas
Sliding into New Years'
And I'm missing all your kisses
Darling, since you're not here
Oh, deck the halls with teardrops
Scrooge ain't got a thing on me
So I'm slipping into Christmas
Wishing you were here with me
Woah, sitting right here on my knee
Well, it's gonna be a blue Christmas
