| You should see all the lights in our old neighborhood
|
| I never thought that little street could ever look so good
|
| I knew that she’d be busy, it’s her favorite time of the year
|
| And I don’t think she notice, I slipped off to be here
|
| Mary, it’s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
|
| To spend a little time with you on this special night
|
| God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn’t understand
|
| But Mary, it’s Christmas, and I just had to take that chance
|
| Don’t the snow sure look pretty, as the flakes are fallin' down
|
| It’s a blanket from heaven coverin' the ground
|
| And that cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone
|
| I guess it’s time I got up and took myself back home
|
| Mary, it’s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
|
| To spend a little time with you on this special night
|
| God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn’t understand
|
| But Mary, it’s Christmas, and I just had to take that chance
|
| Well, she’s started askin' questions
|
| Though she’s barely two
|
| Like, if reindeer fly to heaven
|
| Would Santa bring her love to you
|
| Mary, it’s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
|
| To spend a little time with you on this special night
|
| Someday we’ll be together forever, but till then
|
| But Mary, it’s Christmas, and I’ll do the best I can
|
| This cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone
|
| I guess it’s time I got up off my knees and took myself back home |
