Lyrics

VERSE
The Christmas holidays are all about the good times
When there’s so much to celebrate
But for him this time of year, it’s a hill to climb
He's not sure why, but he just can’t relate

VERSE
He’s feelin’ down and so stressed out
Every other moment is a moment of doubt
He’s too short of money to go out and buy
Any Christmas gifts; instead, he just cries

CHORUS
He understands all the reds and greens
That fit right in the holiday scenes
He knows he needs some help; not a moment to lose
He just can’t go on feelin’ these Christmas blues

VERSE
His head hurts to the touch, and he’s drinkin’ way too much
He’s feelin’ beat, but he can’t get to sleep
To be sure, what he needs is a guiding light
Someone to help him make it through the fight

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
What’s that he sees? A distant light?
Is help on the way? Could this be his silent night?

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
He understands the reds and greens
But he needs to lose these Christmas blues
