Everything will be alright on Christmas Day
I heard them say
The bells ringing in Brixton Square
"Do you have some cash to spare?"
There's Christmas in the air
"Just another ordinary Christmas day"
I heard them say
Just like nothing ever really happened anyway
I hope it stays that way

A sordid sight to see while in Oxford street
A mean old man just stole five pence from a man who couldn't see
"You shan't be shilling out here anyways"
As the snow fell from the trees
Its just an ordinary Christmas day
A sudden sight to see near Trafalgar Square
I turn around, to my surprise, I see that you are standing there
Can't find anything of worth to say
I mutter to myself
It's just an ordinary Christmas day
Charming sight to see while near St. James Park
You followed closely down the stairs, and sat down in my subway car
"I don't have anywhere to spend the night"
A minor inconvenience, but that should be alright
She said, "I hope it snows tonight and then I'll stay"
That's all suffice to say,
Its just an ordinary Christmas day

Every year its the same old tree
But these simple things mean nothing to me
Lets not cut them down, theres a better way
Making limited edition JPEG's
Its time we had a new tradition
Highly limited edition
Real life is not for me
I need an NFT Christmas tree

I hope it snows tonight
We'd stay inside by the Christmas lights
I can't face the fact that I may not be all that you're searching for
But tonight I'm so glad that at least you found your way inside my door
Baby its Christmas Eve
Oh what a sight to see
Presents under the tree
Can't wait 'till the morning light
What a sight to see
So glad you're here with me
What a view
Underneath the Christmas lights with you
I do, I do,
Underneath the Christmas lights with you
The holidays, they mean so much to me
Time stands still, as we sit around the Christmas tree
And I can't face the fact that I may not be all that you're searching for
But tonight I'm so glad that at least you found your way inside my door
Baby its Christmas Eve
Oh what a sight to see
Presents under the tree
Can't wait 'till the morning light
What a sight to see
So glad you're here with me
What a view
Underneath the Christmas lights with you
I do, I do,
Underneath the Christmas lights with you
Saul:
"The holidays a time for family and friends to come together
and I'm so happy that you're spending them with me
I hope you find warmth in the cold weather
Bundled up beside the Christmas tree"
"I hope you have your loved ones, and good health
Whether they're here, or somewhere else
Most importantly, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season
Merry Christmas, From your good friend,
Saul"
Baby its Christmas Eve
Oh what a sight to see
Presents under the tree
Can't wait 'till the morning light
What a sight to see
So glad you're here with me
What a view
Underneath the Christmas lights with you
I do, I do,
Underneath the Christmas lights with you

Its been a long year
Since you packed up your whole life in the city and visited here
We used to play outside all afternoon and stay out in the cold
But now we're too old
You'd never stay for long
You'd come up north just to visit your family, and then you'd be gone
We used to meet up for drinks, 'till that one time we kissed
And now all I see is a pic from your visit
You're someone I miss
I wish I could burrow my head in your coat just to hide from the storm
as we sit side by side with mulled cider and wine to keep warm
When its just you and I basking in the snow of our Christmas lights
I wish just once you'd choose to miss your flight
I hope it snows tonight

Oh the traffics slow
Feels like many miles to go
Its Christmas Eve,
And you're not with me
All the gifts are stowed
Hot drinks and a song we know Is all we need for now
On the roadway out of town
And when the traffics slow
Turn on the radio
And just keep driving home for Christmas
So festive indeed
That red tail lights are all we see
We're hardly out of town, when the snow starts falling down
Passing Scarborough,
All the nearby trees aglow when we played Low
And it finally feels like Christmas
And when the traffics slow
Turn on the radio
And just keep driving home for Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas

Every December we go
into the downtown stores
and we're hoping that it snows tonight
Under the lighting we stare
Into the winter air
See the snow come down, reflecting light
And I want nothing more to say
that I miss you more and more each day
And I want nothing more to say
Than hello and happy holidays
