Well I'm slipping into Christmas
I'm sliding into New Year
And I'm missing all your kisses
Baby, since you're not here

The special thing you give me
I won't find underneath my tree
And I'm feeling sad and lonesome
Wishin' you were here with me!


And I'm feeling a kind of useless
By the second hand Christmas tree
And I'm slinking into sorrow
These blues have got a hold on me

Well I know 'tis the season to be jolly
But Scrooge ain't got a thing on me
And so I'm slipping into Christmas
Wishing you were here with me!


Well I'm slipping into Christmas
Sliding into New Year
And I'm missing all your kisses
Darlin' since you're not here

Whoa, deck the halls with teardrops
Scrooge ain't got a thing on me
So I'm slipping into Christmas,
Wishing you were here with me!

Whoa, sittin' right here on my knee
Well, it's gonna be a blue Christmas!!!!

Darlene Love : All Alone At Christmas with E Street Band and Christmas Baby Please Come Home

From Wikipedia:

All Alone On Christmas" is a song written and arranged by Steve Van Zandt and recorded by Darlene Love with members of both The E Street Band and The Miami Horns. It was originally featured on the soundtrack of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.^[1] It was also released as a CD single which included an instrumental version.

The third track on the single was a Christmas remix of The Capitols "Cool Jerk" which was also taken from the same film soundtrack. The single was influenced by Phil Spector's Wall of Sound and is recorded in the style of the Spector-produced Love song "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". The single featured a promotional photo of Love with the five members of the E Street Band who featured on the track.^[2] A promotional video featured Macaulay Culkin "producing" as Love performed the song with The E Street Band and The Miami Horns. The song was also featured in the film Love Actually^[3] and in the 2001 Italian film Merry Christmas.

During the first year of her run in the Broadway musical Hairspray, Love re-recorded the song using the show's cast and band as backup on the charity recording Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for A Cure Vol. 7. The song references Love's earlier holiday recording "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". The song was covered by RuPaul for his 1997 Christmas album entitled "Ho, Ho, Ho".
