Slipping Into Christmas - Leon Russell

Well, I’m slipping into Christmas

I’m sliding into New Years'

And I’m missing all your kisses

Baby, since you’re not here

The special thing you give me

I won’t find underneath my tree

And I’m feeling sad and lonesome

Wishing you were here with me

And I’m feeling kind of useless

By secondhand Christmas tree

And I’m sneaking into sorrow

These blues have got a hold on me

Well, I know tis the season to be jolly

But Scrooge ain’t got a thing on me

And so I’m slipping into Christmas

Wishing you were here with me

Well, I’m slipping into Christmas

Sliding into New Years'

And I’m missing all your kisses

Golly, since you’re not here

Oh, deck the halls with teardrops

Scrooge ain’t got a thing on me

So I’m slipping into Christmas

Wishing you were here with me

Whoa, sitting right here on my knee

Well, it’s gonna be a blue Christmas
