The cold wind is blowing and the streets are getting dark
I’m writting 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 Rockafella’s tree
People window shoppin’ on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you
I wanna know
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas
Where do lonely hearts go?
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas
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
I hope you can bring us some cheer this year
The mothers and children in the street again
Do you remember sleigh ridin’ in the snow?
And dancin’ all night to “Baby, please come home”
Today’s celebration is bittersweet
There’s mothers and children in the street
I wanna know
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas
Where do lonely hearts go?
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
I’m all grown up, and it’s the same you’ll see
I’m writing you 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?
I wanna know
I wanna know
Where do lonely hearts go?
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas
Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Nobody ought to be all alone
Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas (alone on Christmas)
Nobody ought to be alone (I wanna know)
Nobody ought to be alone (Where do lonely hearts go?)
Nobody ought to be alone
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can’t get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don’t see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would’ve thought that a boy like me could come to this?
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I’m a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I’ve lost and found, it’s my final mistake
She’s loving by proxy, no give and all take
‘Cause I’ve been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
It was a long hot night
And she made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it’s over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
