(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)

January, January, that's when I am blue
January, January, when the year is new
I found you in January then you proved untrue
That's why January makes me blue
That's why January makes me blue.

--- Instrumental ---

Once we found an achorn and you planted it with me
We swore that we would love till it became a mighty tree
Our tree's now mighty tall but love is just a memory
Just a January memory, just a January memory.

--- Instrumental ---

January, January, promised me the sky
Blinded me and offered me the love that was a lie
Made me want to live forever, made want to die
That's why January makes me cry.
That's why January makes me cry...
