Look at all of the lights
You can feel the air is changing
Streets are covered in white
Everyone is celebrating
Like the hands of a clock, never stop telling time
OH December 25
Its a wonderful life
and you can't contain the feeling
even standing in line, seems a little more appealing
Yeah, its like coming home, knowing everything's rights
Oh December 25
This is the way,
a holiday suppose to be.
Snow on the ground,
love all around,
and your with me, tonight.
December 25
Warmin up by the fire, as the night is slowing fading
when it all feels right, after all the time we waited
yeah it comes and it goes, in the blink of an eye
oh december twenty
oh december twenty
