Lighting up the candles
Shining up my shoes
Everyone has gathered now
For the Christmas blues
Baubles, beads and branches
The ornament is neat
Just another day in the life of a Christmas tree
Chestnuts into homemade
Stockings on the wall
Candy canes and cigarettes
The fairies have a ball
Kids on good behavior
As good as they can be
Granny takes her turn
Rocking around the Christmas tree
If you blink you'll lose them all for good
Those golden times were magical
When I was young I gazed upon the tree
Slept beneath it all day long
With gorgeous presents around me
Chewing on the fruitcake
Distance in their eyes
Someone's kissing Santa Claus
Someone's telling lies
No one saw the elf man
Who stole the magic key
No one saw the fire
Beneath the family Christmas tree
A street lamp casts a shadow
On a lonely street
A veil of snow is falling
Where we all used to meet
Was it an illusion
Those cheerful memories
Nights where we all danced
Merrily around the Christmas tree
Nights I remember all of my life
Nights I remember all of my life
