WHAT AM I GONNA DO THIS CHRISTMAS?
(George Bledsoe / Bernice Givens)

as recorded by Frankie Laine
with Carl Fischer (piano) &
Harry Geller & his Orchestra
1950


What am I gonna do this Christmas without you?
What am I gonna do this Christmas alone?
Gazing at the mistletoe and longing for your kiss,
Why do I have to spend Christmas away from you like this?

Do you remember just last Christmas
I held you so tight?
I won't forget last Christmas,
The bells that rang and "Silent Night".

You said that we'll be together,
And I hope and pray we'll be!
But what am I gonna do this Christmas
If you're not here with me?

I held you so tight!

The bells that rang and "Silent Night".

You said that we'll be together,
And I hope and pray we'll be!
But what am I gonna do this Christmas
If you're not here with me?
