Analysis of Another Lonely Christmas

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)



No Kiss under the
 Mistletoe for me this year,
No Happy Holidays,
 or any Christmas Cheer!!
No Holly and Jolly
Christmas for me,
No Snow, No Santa and
 No Christmas Tree!!
You think that's bad,
No Presents at All,
 No visitors, No Family, not
even one Call.
Another Lonely Christmas
as you can see,
Just me, myself and I, and
 in total All Three!!
