Everything's so tinsel-bright and new
Giant snowflakes fill Fifth Avenue
Window shoppers whistling merry tunes
Wait in line to get a better view
Of something
That makes them feel alive
Like when they were a child
Waiting for the gifts to open
A round of "Jingle Bells"
Wish your loved ones well
Wish that you could be there with them
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
Carriage ride past skaters in the park
Buildings reaching up to neon stars
Lovers bundled up against the cold
Visions of sweet sugarplums at home
Or something
That makes you feel apart
And warms a jaded heart
Waited to restore your faith in
A verse of "Silent Night"
Tuck the child in tight
Wish that you could be there again
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
A round of "Jingle Bells"
Wish your loved ones well
Wish that you could be there with them
And make you feel alive
Like when you were a child
Waiting for the gifts to open
Christmas is the saddest day of the year
