I picked out a tree
|
And I tied it to the car
|
There's a wreath up on our door
|
Eight tiny reindeer in the yard
|
I drove under the downtown lights
|
Red and green and blue
|
The silver neon snowflakes
|
Only made me think of you
|
It's Christmas all around me
|
You're in someone else's land
|
So I'm sending out my only wish
|
Hey Santa tell the man
|
|
Hey mister send my baby home
|
This December I don't want to be all alone
|
Oh Christmas in America
|
I need you in my arms
|
Far away from harm
|
Mister send my baby home
|
|
I hear someone singing jingle bells
|
No wait that deck the halls
|
And the teenagers with candy canes
|
Ramble through the malls
|
The girls are down at Ruby's
|
Trying to find some Christmas cheer
|
There's not much to do but drink too much
|
When everyday's unclear
|
So here I am on Christmas eve
|
This silent holy night
|
And I reach up to the stars for you
|
And I pray that you're alright
|
|
What happened to the peace on earth
|
All that goodwill toward men
|
Oh come on all ye faithful
|
It's time to think again
|
