This is the saddest Christmas song for someone who has broken up with a girlfriend or boyfriend. Elvis captures the pain of a relationship breakup in his inimitable way. Remember as you listen that no matter how much your heart is hurting now, there is hope that you can reconcile with your ex or find a new love. Broken dreams can be reborn.

The Lyrics: “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Billy Hayes – Jay Johnson)

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you.
I’ll be so blue just thinking about you.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won’t be the same, dear, if you’re not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling,
That’s when those blue memories start calling.
You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.

(instrumental break)

You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas.

If you go to Memphis, Tennessee, there really is a Heartbreak hotel at the end of Lonely Street, not far from Graceland. But everybody’s been there in their heart, no mater where they live. This classic evokes all the feelings of someone who has broken up with a girlfriend or boyfriend.

The Lyrics: “Heartbreak Hotel” by Elvis Presley

Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it’s down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Well, I’ll be
I’ll be so lonely baby
Well, I’m so lonely
I’ll be so lonely, I could die

Oh, although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They’ll be so
They’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could die

Now, the bell hop’s tears keep flowin’
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black
Well, they been so long on Lonely Street
They’ll never ever look back

And it’s so
Well, it’s so lonely baby
Well, they’re so lonely
Well, they’re so lonely, they could’ve die

Well, if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be
You’ll be so lonely, baby
Well you’ll be lonely
You’ll be so lonely you could die

Oh, although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They’ve been so
They’re be so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
They’ll be so lonely, they could die
