Baby, It's Christmas Time Lyrics

Streetlights and a serenade

Santa Claus is coming back to town so boy you best behave

Finish my last cigarette

Think about the night, think about your eyes, about what he said

Slipping my favorite shoes

Sliding on the ice, making my way to you

City looking like a movie scene

Yellow cabs parked by the park, done for the night it seems

I reach for my phone

That's when I see your message saying babe my flight

I might not make it home

But I left you some

Cocaine, whiskey and red wine

Baby it's Christmas time

In New York, tonight it's all mine

But baby it's Christmas time

Now we got a new plan

Boys shooting pool down at the bar, guess we'll go and make a stand

Dealers come for the give and take

A line and a wandering eye are never far away

And old lovers can't help but come to mind

When the whiskey mixes in with Christmas, hey man I'll get it on the rocks this time

Cocaine, whiskey and red wine

Baby it's Christmas time

In New York, I'll see you again sometime

Well baby it's Christmas time

And then it's last call at the bar

For the last hour I've been thinking hard

That maybe I should get up out of this place

This year you're getting better than my mistakes

Man my head talks too much

But my heart won't say enough

'Til I see my baby calling on the phone

Saying boy I made it, are you coming home?

Cocaine, whiskey and red wine

Baby it's Christmas time

In New York, the light in my baby's eyes

Baby it's Christmas time

And it's cabs by the park

Girls after dark

Boys in the bars

Breaking every heart

Every year I find

A new state of mind

But damn, my city

Baby it's Christmas time
