The cold wind is blowing 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 and St. John will be by 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 Rockefeller Street People will be jumping on Fourth Avenue All I want for Christmas is you Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas Things are different since you've been here last Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past Maybe you could bring us some hope this year Quittens of sugarplums have disappeared Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow And dancing all night to Baby Pea's ho-ho-ho Today's celebration is bittersweet As long as there are children in the street Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas I've all grown up and I'm the same you'll see I'm writing you this letter cause I still believe Dear Santa I've been good this year Won't you stay a little while with me right here Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas Nobody ought to be alone on Christmas © transcript Emily Beynon
