Christmas Is the Saddest Day of the Year lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
Everything's so tinsel-bright and new
Giant snowflakes fill Fifth Avenue
Window shoppers whistling merry tunes
Wait in line to get a better view
Of something
[Chorus]
That makes them feel alive
Like when they were a child
Waiting for the gifts to open
A round of "Jingle Bells"
Wish your loved ones well
Wish that you could be there with them
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
[Verse 2]
Carriage ride past skaters in the park
Buildings reaching up to neon stars
Lovers bundled up against the cold
Visions of sweet sugarplums at home
Or something
[Chorus]
That makes you feel apart
And warms a jaded heart
Waited to restore your faith with
A verse of "Silent Night"
Tuck the child in tight
Wish that you could be there again
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
A round of "Jingle Bells"
Wish your loved ones well
Wish that you could be there with them
And make you feel alive
Like when you were a child
Waiting for the gifts to open
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
