I watch the snowflakes fall
Against my window pane
And wonder if you
Are watching snowflakes too
I take a walk downtown
To where you used to meet me
There's joy everywhere
But all that's waiting there is
Just a little Christmas tree
Looking sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care (no one seems to care)
They just went away and left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve

I hear the Christmas bells
(bum bum bum bum bum)
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer that only bring me tears
I sadly close my eyes
And say a little prayer
You'll be waiting there for me
I look but all I see is
Just a little Christmas tree
Looking sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care (no one seems to care)
They just went away and left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
This is the season of love
(This is the season of love)
But I'm as sad as I can be
(I'm as sad as can be)
Why did you have to leave me
(Why did you have to leave me)
(Why did you have to leave me)

Just a little Christmas tree
Looking sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care (no one seems to care)
They just went away and left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
