Kacey Musgraves - Christmas Makes Me Cry Lyrics






It's all red and gold and Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree
It's all twinkle lights and snowy nights and kids still believe
And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

It's the ones we miss, no one to kiss under the mistletoe
Another year gone by, just one more that I, I couldn't make it home
And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I swear I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
Always

Seems like everybody else is having fun
I wonder if I'm the only one
Who's broken heart still has broken parts just wrapped in pretty paper
And it's always sad seeing mom and dad getting a little grayer
And they always say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

Kacey Musgraves Christmas Makes Me Cry Comments
  1. R.... M....

    Kacey still hard to figure, she comes to me, mind's eye 👁, then I have to see just what this little gal has posted today.

    Today this Bible quote the only thing that comes to mind. It could be why Kacey has that quality inside.
    Though maybe she visits, because I mentioned once, perhaps she was my mother in another life.😊 There's a lot of cutesy in the country girl swing thing, barbie too....perhaps she is trying to shake it too at some level.. To be, and feel real in amidst the tinsel and wrapping paper. 😊 🎥 🎬 ✌ 🎄🎶

    Ecc 7:3
    3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness, the countenance of the heart is made better.

  2. R.... G....

    Omg! This is heaven! What is happening right now?

  3. S.... ....

    She's born for music

  4. J.... ....

    WOW. Made me cry thinking about my mom that passed away in 2018.

  5. A.... E....

    This mad me cry😭😭😭😭

  6. K.... B....

    I feel like Kacey is going to be My generations Dolly.

  7. A.... N....

    i can feel some Dolly vibe in her voice

    A.... N....

    A little Dolly, but I get major Loretta Lynne vibes from her look

  8. H.... S....

    Ladies, she may have nice plump lips but that doesn't mean we need them, God makes no mistakes! We're fine, small lips and all😋🎄⛸️☃️❤️

  9. S.... S....

    I’m not a big modern country fan but I like her stuff. She has an old timey voice in a way.

  10. A.... B....

    That was heaven ... I just love her...

  11. m.... A....

    what a musician and such a beautiful sound and this's just 2nd time I hear it

  12. J.... ....

    love her authentic style, but I just prefer a more edgy, stronger voice like Wynonna and early Linda Ronstadt.

  13. M.... M....

    💚❤️beautiful song!

  14. d.... ....

    I love her!!!!

  15. R.... G....

    So beautiful!

  16. V.... 6....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  17. A.... P....

    Beautiful.XX

  18. B.... L....

    Kacey's voice makes me cry 😢

  19. T.... K....

    REALLY hate this! I am on my computer and having break fast and KC comes on with her new christmas song and I cant contain my self , spills everything all over the laptop cant breathe nothing can go down every thing coming back up I am in a total mess and I so love this girl

  20. R.... D....

    There are those classic carols and christmas songs, but talking about pop culture the holy trinity of christmas for me is Cold December Night by Michael Bublé, All I want for christmas is you, and this one right here I just discovered yet it feels like I've known for ages. It speaks right to my heart.

  21. C.... ....

    The most cheerful song - Ellen DeGeneres 2019

  22. T.... H....

    Good Christmas songs died long ago

  23. o.... o....

    God, she's amazing. She sang this so beautifully.

  24. A.... G....

    :') this made my heart sad

  25. m.... g....

    Kacey is so beautiful ..Love her

  26. B.... Q....

    Love this song!! I’ve been listening to her for 5 years, and she is soo underrated

  27. A.... S....

    This song makes me cry 😭❤️

  28. T.... B....

    Me too Miss Kacey, way to many sad memories. I have to remind myself its "Jesus's" birthday. Love n Respect honey, Always

    T.... B....

    Not actually Jeasus birthday tho, I thought that was Easter?

  29. A.... ....

    Ugh reminds me of Lana a little ❣️

    A.... ....

    She and Lana share a duet on her new Christmas special, that is on Amazon Prime. :-)

  30. A.... U....

    Her voice is so pure😘

  31. H.... H....

    This song hits hard for anyone that’s had a close family member or friend pass away. Can’t help but feel sad when that person isn’t around for the holidays anymore....thank you for recognizing that, Kacey

    H.... H....

    Hayden Harris ;(

  32. D.... H....

    Going to her concert tommorow

  33. j.... c....

    "Well Kacey had an emo moment ." HA! Funniest line in her Christmas Special!! :)

  34. K.... S....

    So relatable

  35. E.... B....

    Did anybody else hear the violinist play that wrong note

  36. B.... C....

    wish she'd go back to her brunette colour...too young and vibrant to have a dark persona!

  37. V.... U....

    Everyone has been sleeping on this song for years. She released this back in 2016. Smh... anyways I’m glad people are hearing it now. Such a great, relaxing, relatable and now a CLASSIC Christmas song. Her voice is just soo beautiful and she’s freaking gorgeous. I need me a lady like Ms. Musgraves

    V.... U....

    True.finally she got her deserved success.

    V.... U....

    @Richa Sharma, tbh I almost prefer the pace at which her star has risen. I think it bodes well for longevity and it means as more people join the bandwagon there's a substantial body of work just waiting for them.

  38. D.... G....

    I’m a newer fan of this lovely woman!! I’m an old lady 👵🏻 and I have watched her Christmas Show on Amazon about 100 x so far!! Her voice just is beautiful. ❤️🌲❄️❤️🌲❄️❤️🌲❄️❤️🌲❄️

  39. L.... B....

    Her voice is amazing But sad Christmas songs.....no. next.

  40. M.... M....

    Songs as pretty as herself. Great addition to Christmas. THANK YOU KACEY...…...

  41. C.... N....

    Do a song with the chicks

  42. l.... v....

    Funny how taylor swift is so big when this girl is so underrated. Her vocals is a million times better then swift.

    l.... v....

    Just appreciate Kacey. No need to drag down other artist.

  43. N.... D....

    I love how she stuck around even after the commercial break/taping to do some more songs.

    N.... D....

    Nom De Plume what songs did she do?

  44. l.... ....

    Beautiful, along with the orchestra... very relaxing and soothing!

  45. C.... L....

    Beautiful voice

  46. e.... g....

    Oh god this song just speaks to my soul. There is some sadness behind christmas for me too in regards to not being able to spend it with my family. Ugh didn't know I needed a song to describe this feeling 🎄❤

  47. d.... ....

    This song used to play at one of my old workplaces during the Christmas season, and I couldn't make it back home that year

    It'd thoroughly fuck me up every single time it played, but I still stopped my work and paid attention to it every time I could. It's so unbelievably beautiful

  48. F.... G....

    🤗🌷 felices Pascuas🤗

    F.... G....

    pero es navidad jaja

  49. p.... e....

    Lacey is a treasure and this is a beautiful song

  50. i.... ....

    Beautiful. Your vocals are only getting better and better.

  51. G.... ....

    Beautiful.

  52. M.... D....

    it’s like she’s trying to kill me

  53. I.... A....

    My favorite song from her Xmas album. Would listen to it non stop last year

  54. j.... ....

    "It's always sad seeing mom and dad getting a little grayer" THIS HITS SO HARD OMG😭

    j.... ....

    j.... ....

    j.... ....

    jessjessydel seriously. It’s also the aging quotes in Christmas songs that hits the hardest

  55. C.... M....

    Any chance of your Holiday special coming to physical media? Enjoy it immensely. I foresee it being a Holiday tradition

  56. a.... y....

    i’ve only been listening to this song for the past week 🥺

  57. T.... C....

    Kacey is at the peak of her powers here and has been for some time now. "You're the reason I love...a genre I don't care about" Song: Kacey's Country > Tar Crystalline

    There’s no better live performer 💙 her voice is so authentic live and on tape.

    t.... s....

    tyler solomon agreed. along with tori kelly

  74. M.... C....

    This is such a beautiful and important song. Why did Ellen have to introduce with a joke like that? SMH

    M.... C....

    Maximus Copious Because she’s a comedian.

    M.... C....

    Maximus Copious I get what you’re saying but I think Ellen was just trying to lighten the mood. I understand how it can be sensitive for some people though. My dad just passed away this summer so it really hits home for me

  75. L.... E....

    Love this

  76. L.... I....

    Kacey this is why you are so important and doing so well in music. You give us THIS music that hurts and is what we need to hear. Everything isn’t always 🌈 and 🦋. Christmas sucks for a lot of people, every year. Not everyone is happy. Thank you 💜

    L.... I....

    I agree, finally and appropriate music for Christmas

    L.... I....

    LYRICS


    [Verse 1]
    It's all red and gold and Nat King Cole and tinsel on the tree
    It's all twinkle lights and snowy nights and the kids still believe

    [Refrain]
    And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
    And every year, I sincerely try
    Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

    [Verse 2]
    It's the ones we miss, no one to kiss under the mistletoe
    Another year gone by, just one more that I, I couldn't make it home

    [Refrain]
    And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
    And every year, I swear I sincerely try
    Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
    Always

    [Verse 3]
    Seems like everybody else is having fun
    I wonder if I'm the only one
    Who's broken heart still has broken parts just wrapped in pretty paper
    And it's always sad seeing mom and dad getting a little grayer

    [Refrain]
    And they always say, "Have a happy holiday"
    And every year, I sincerely try
    Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
