Christmas Lights Lyrics

Winter time I remember

Your face clear as last December

We were walking hand in hand

Through a snowy wonderland

Those days nothing could stop us

Dance and sing out just because

If you told me then what we'd become

Don't think I would believe

'Cause I had no doubt back then

You were my only friend

Lips stained scarlet from red wine

Every word was a secret sign

Chestnuts crackled on the fire

I turned to you and saw you smile

Every night I felt the warmth

In your arms the sweetest home

And I whispered

'Baby, we're gonna see the lights

Shining bright for Christmas time

And when the night is cold

I'll hold you close, this I know

Baby, just look in my eyes

Everything will be alright

Under the golden glow

What a beautiful tableau'

All our polaroids told a story

But your smile was getting blurry

Walking down the avenue

When one became two

Hands pushed deep in my pockets

Guess it's no use trying to fight it

Saw right then what we'd become

I couldn't bear the thought

Ice was melting on the lake

I reached for you and saw the wake

Of everything we had

My everything left

Still I whispered

'Baby, we're gonna see the lights

Shining bright for Christmas time

And when the night is cold

I'll hold you close, please don't go

Baby, just look in my eyes

Everything will be alright

Under the golden glow

What a beautiful tableau'

Oh what a beautiful tableau

Under the Christmas lights

I think I called you mine

Under the Christmas lights

I think I saw the sign

Took the withered mistletoe

Put it away and I look up slow

Someone special will come I know

Maybe this year when it snows

And she'll whisper

'Baby, we're gonna see the lights

Shining bright for Christmas time

And when the night is cold

I'll hold you close, with all my own

Baby, just look in my eyes

Everything will be alright

Under the golden glow

What a beautiful love to know'

What a beautiful love to know
