The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark

I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start

The bells will be ringing Saint John the 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 old Rockefella's tree

People window shopping on Fifth Avenue

All I want for Christmas is you



(Tell me) I've got to know

Where do lonely hearts go

Because nobody ought to be all 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 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 in the street



(Tell me) I've got to know

Where do lonely hearts go

Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas



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

I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe

Dear Santa I've been good this year

Can't you stay a little while with me right here



(Tell me) I've got to know

Where do lonely hearts go

Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
