When you find for some sad reason
you're alone this Christmas season
And the joys of home grow dimmer
just like a memory's distant glimmer
When your love and you are parted
and all Christmas cheer departed
It's sad I say, when you're away,
from love on Christmas Day

Why the sadness (gotta move on)
When there should be gladness (keep moving on)
All you can do is keep moving on

Time is mending (you gotta move on)
Pain soon has its ending (keep moving on)
Know in your heart it soon will be gone

Whether cruising the lonely highway
or jetting miles high through some skyway
When you've reached your destination
awaiting baggage at the station

When you see some happy greeters
it can make your bitter sweeter
But still for real, it's sad to feel
alone on Christmas Day

Why the sadness (gotta move on)
When there should be gladness (keep moving on)
All you can do is keep moving on
Time is mending (you've got to move on)
Pain soon has its ending (keep moving on)
Know in your heart it soon will be gone
