Small City Christmas Idyll

Merry Christmas Glad you missed us You bring us cheer And I love this feeling When bells are ringing This time of year I want to go out tonight Drink champagne and look at the lights Have the driver drop us at the mall Stare at the tree a hundred feet tall Merry Christmas From a distance the city's bathed in stars And I see friends pass holding gift wrap In flying cars But don't you worry I'll be there early before service starts The evening church bells weaving their spells To candles in our hearts After service let's go downtown See the nativity on the capital grounds Walk down to the train station have some drinks Hold hands while Dancer and Prancer blink Grab some dinner and catch up on the year Thanks to Santa for bringing us near Hallelujah there's a new year on its way Can't wait to hear about the new plans that you've made We'll throw a party invite old friends Catch up on all the places they've been Can you imagine us in a few years Do you think we'll marry and have some kids I hope this feeling never ends That glow from your eyes to my heart sends Merry Christmas happy new year I know it's time to go The real world is calling No use stalling Still I hate it so Maybe I was dreaming But you were seeming To be in my flow Hold this connection In our reflection On white Christmas snow I see a red nose lights the way Above all the places we played Remember skating around that tree A flash of silver from an Advent wreath We're like this old town caught in its trance But I hope we never lose its romance Even if we end up separate ways This world will live in our hearts For always
