Lyrics

I’ll have a blue

Christ mas with out you.

I’ll be so blue

think ing a bout you.

Dec o ra tions of red on a green Christ mas tree

won’t mean a thing

if you’re not here with me.

I’ll have a blue

Christ mas, that’s cer tain,

and when that blue

heart ache starts hurt in’,

you’ll be do in’ al right with your Christ mas of white,

but I’ll have a blue, blue Christ mas.

Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 112 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
