All's calm and all is bright
But not as bright as your eyes
'Cos you're just like Christmas to me
Thought I was done with nostalgia
Said it's a thing of the past
But you're just like Christmas
You're just like Christmastime to me
And my mind's on the lights
You know it's just on the blink
And if my nose is red
Well, it's just 'cos I drink
I sent you a card so I that I could let you know that
I want you to kiss me though I've no mistletoe
I see you as the snow falls
Waiting for you's like Christmas eve
And I'd rather we were dancing
But I don't need no Christmas tree
One year since we last met
We lived a fairytale all through New York City
I saw you dance on the rooftops
And they would glisten just as your eyes would glisten
'Cos you're just like Christmastime to me
And my mind's on the lights
You know it's just on the blink
And if my nose is red
Well, it's just 'cos I drink
I sent you a card so I that I could let you know that
I want you to kiss me though I've no mistletoe
I see you as the snow falls
Waiting for you's like Christmas eve
And I'd rather we were dancing
But I don't need no Christmas tree
And as Darlene Love plays
Through the streets of Santa Cruz
Of course I sing along
'Cos it makes me think of you
And I hear you as the bells ring
And as the band begins to play
And I build my dreams around you
'Cos you're just like Christmas day
I see you as the snow falls
You make it easy to believe
So darlin' let's keep dancing
Let's not stop 'til New Year's Eve
And as Darlene Love plays
Through the streets of Santa Cruz
Of course I sing along
'Cos it makes me think of you
