Christmas for the Blues - Rodney Crowell

I haven’t seen you round here since I don’t know when

It makes me stop and wonder just how long it’s been

The sight of you says nothing but good news

But you look like a Christmas for the blues

Seeing you reminds me of the way we were

Just standing here beside you makes the feeling stir

I can’t deny your leaving left a bruise

You look like a Christmas for the blues

I don’t have to ask if things are going well

Well as for me, well let’s just say

There’s not that much to tell

Once upon a time back when the world was young

With you I really thought I’d found the ladder’s rung

In life we learn to live and love and lose

You look like a Christmas for the blues

Everything about you says you’re doing fine

And I don’t have to ask you if the years have all been kind

I hate to say goodbye, I hope I’ll see you round

Maybe when the season starts to wind back down

I’d surely understand should you refuse

You look like a Christmas for the blues

You look like a Christmas for the blues
