Lyrics

Christmas night, another fight Tears, we cried a flood Got all kinds of poison in Of poison in my blood I took my feet To Oxford Street Tryna right a wrong Just walk away Those windows say But I can't believe she's gone When you're still waiting for the snow to fall Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Up above candles on air flicker Oh, they flicker and they float And I'm up here holding on To all those chandeliers of hope Like some drunken Elvis singing I go singing out of tune Saying how I always loved you, darling And I always will Oh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Still waiting for the snow to fall It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Those Christmas lights Light up the street Down where the sea and city meet May all your troubles soon be gone Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on Those Christmas lights Light up the street Maybe they'll bring her back to me Then all my troubles will be gone Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, Christmas lights Light up the street Light up the fireworks in me May all your troubles soon be gone Those Christmas lights, keep shining on
