Oh I need you here to start off another year
I gotta say it's felt so cold with you far away
And the tree wont look right without you hear tonight
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
There's no way to drive yourself home
But there's not a cloud up in the sky
So pretty baby catch the midnight flight
I sit and wait with your gift so patiently
The hour is late
So before they close the gate
Park in a red light and catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them holding hands oh
The streets are all covered with snow
The buses have no where to go
But the pilot is taking off tonight
Oh pretty baby catch the midnight flight
Cause bright lights and silver stars
Shine over my head
And people go passing by
I see them smiling with friends
So baby come back to me
I'm hanging out under the tree
Watching some lovers skate on ice
