Soft white light Contrasts the green As I spin you fast enough To lift you off of your feet Window panes They glitter and glow At night you pray and pray That you'll wake up to snow It seems that every time I'm given the chance I haven't got it right But isn't that the way it always goes Merry Christmas my dear Merry Christmas my darling I can't promise you snow But don't hold out on hope Angel wings Spread cross the yard Footprints fill the spaces Decorate them with stars Wish for you every winter I knew The prettiest kind of view It seems the chill could cut right to your heart And keep you up through the night But isn't that the way it always goes Merry Christmas my dear Merry Christmas my darling I can't promise you snow So don't hold out on hope Merry Christmas my dear Merry Christmas my darling I can't promise you snow But don't hold out on hope Merry Christmas my dear Merry Christmas my darling I can't promise you snow But don't hold out on hope
