Rodney Crowell
Christmas for the Blues
[Verse 1]
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
You look like a Christmas for the blues

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
And everything about you says you're doing fine
And I don't have to ask you if the years have all been kind
[Verse 4]
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
