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, [bad word] 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
