The snow is falling hard outside the pane
It's just the same old street, but somehow new again
I pour a glass of something warm and strong
And pull out all the memories where we still belong
Another year has come and gone, the lights are on the tree
But there's a certain emptiness that only you can see
Oh, Dear Christmas, don't you look back in anger
Give us all a sign, that the magic's still alive
Yeah, Dear Christmas, turn the sadness to a wonder
Let the jingle bells ring out for every soul tonight
We're gonna make it through the grey, 'cause this is our time
The TV's playing songs from twenty years ago
The ones we used to shout about when the fire was low
We used to think we had forever in our hands
Now we're just waiting for the next time that the good life lands
Maybe the perfect moment's not the one we're looking for
It's just the quiet truth standing right outside the door
Oh, Dear Christmas, don't you look back in anger
Give us all a sign, that the magic's still alive
Yeah, Dear Christmas, turn the sadness to a wonder
Let the jingle bells ring out for every soul tonight
We're gonna make it through the grey, 'cause this is our time
All the dreams we left behind in the winter haze
Will come back to us in these holiday days
Just for tonight, forget about the future and the past
Hold onto the simple moments that are built to last
Oh, Dear Christmas, light the dark road up ahead
Yeah, Dear Christmas, let the good times never fade
Dear Christmas...
