Three truckers drop into a diner on Christmas Eve.  That's young Connie Cipher singing with dad.

No One Should Be Alone at Christmas

Two good buddies and me
Tired and needing a place to eat
Chased a star, wandered 'neath the sky
Pulled up by a Texaco sign
They were hoping to get some rest
Me, I thought we oughta drive on
Bought a pot of coffee and said
"Bet we'd make it there by dawn

'Cause no one should be alone at Christmas
and each of us has someone at home who'd miss us
Instead of staying here
in Pennsylvania on a night so clear
Let's try to make it there by Christmas"

I spied a girl, 'bout 17
sitting in a corner booth
She was eating some saltines
nursing a glass of water, too
Seemed to be all by herself
In not quite the best of health
Looked so cold and hungry there
We gathered what we three could spare

As I approached, her body tensed
I said, "Miss, don't take offense,
here's something, it's not much"
But I could see that she was touched
With such kindness in her eyes
Some hidden source of joy and pride
Then I noticed at her side
A baby lying bundled tight

She said, "See, at least I'm not alone at Christmas
I feel as if the precious lord has blessed us
Mister, thanks to you tonight
My girl will sleep warm and dry
Thank God you came along this Christmas"

Lord, I wish no one was alone at Christmas
Though I know just how forlorn this wish is
And deep inside I know
Wishing never made it so
Still, I hope you're not alone this Christmas

My friends and me
drove on that Christmas Eve
