so christmas is here again with its tinsel and lights the city is covered in snow at our house family and friends have gathered tonight to eat drink and share the holiday cheer and this december like decembers before we find ourselves reflecting contemplating our lives as another chapter comes to a close so here i sit at the christmas party with a belly full of wine while the celebration dances around me and i dream of you and you're singing to me ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh
i don't talk just listen to the sleigh-bell song and i felt tipsy the snow is falling all around i can't stand up cause santa claus is coming to town so hold on to me this christmas
but soon the music will fade the last of the wine will be poured and the dancing will cease these old friends will make their way home to sleep a restless sleep as st. nick makes his rounds and by tomorrow afternoon as the last of the wraping paper is tossed into the fire this christmas will be over why must it all go by so fast? santa claus this christmas don't let these friends go home don't let the revelry end and don't leave me here, alone ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh
i don't talk just listen to the sleigh-bell song and i felt tipsy the snow is falling all around i can't stand up cause santa claus is coming to town so hold on to me this christmas
