Mistletoe and silver snow and ivy growing on the walls I wish I could erase these dreams, I do For all my days are running by In shopping malls with endless lines I don't know how I got here, do you
Somewhere between the catalogs of what to get for him Somewhere amidst the china dolls my vision starts to spin
'Cause I thought Christmas was supposed to be More than lighting up the Christmas tree More than filling up our socks with toys More than all of this tremendous noise
All I really mean to say is Let's not throw this time away I'd rather just sip chocolate with you And if you'd like to treat me nice Don't wait for snow, don't wait for ice I'm always in the season, are you
Somewhere on Santa's list my name's been crossed off with a slash Somewhere I'm gonna find a better way to spend my cash
'Cause I thought Christmas was supposed to be More than lighting up the Christmas tree More than filling up our socks with toys More than all of this tremendous noise
