City sidewalks dressed in white
Rushing crowds are out of sight
I’m not where I’m supposed to be
Just you here next to me
Outside the world is cold and fast
But this quiet moment’s built to last
No parties no parade
Just the silent show the snowflakes made
So let the carols fade away
Unplug the lights let’s just stay
In this borrowed gentle peace
Where all the rushing fears release
It’s not a picture-perfect Christmas scene
No fireplace with a shiny sheen
It’s you and me and the TV’s low blue gleam
Making new dreams from an old old theme
Underneath the Christmas Eve glow
Time moves gentle soft and slow
Just hold me close and let it snow
Yeah the year was chaos noise and static
But tonight the only metric
Is the rhythm of your breath so light and sweet
A melody that makes the chaos obsolete
Forget the gifts wrapped under the pine
The greatest present here is you being mine
So let the old year dissolve like sugar in this wine
It’s not a picture-perfect Christmas scene
No fireplace with a shiny sheen
It’s you and me and the TV’s low blue gleam
Making new dreams from an old old theme
Underneath the Christmas Eve glow
Time moves gentle soft and slow
Just hold me close and let it snow
Maybe tomorrow we’ll join the stream
But tonight you’re the only dream I need
A sanctuary in the silent falling white
My Christmas miracle right here by my side
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Just your heartbeat keeping time
In our own perfect silent rhyme
Christmas Eve glow
