All I Ever Get For Christmas Is Blue Lyrics - Over The Rhine

Strings of lights above the bed 

Curtains drawn and a glass of red 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue 

Saxophone on the radio 

Recorded forty years ago 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue 

When you play my song 

Play it slowly 

Play it like I'm sad and lonely 

Maybe you can solve my mystery 

Wrap me in your arms and whisper 

You miss me 

Weatherman says it's miserable 

But the snow is so beautiful 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue 

It would take a miracle 

To get me out to a shopping mall 

All I really want for Christmas is you 

Let them ring the bells 

They won't miss us 

I'll be drinking down your kisses 

Deep into the night we'll go stealing 

Underneath a starry ceiling 

Revealing 

White lights on the Christmas tree 

Thank God you are here with me 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue 

All I ever get for Christmas is blue
