The city blinks in neon red and gold
A vintage filter on the stories told
Through the frosted glass, the shop displays
Are tangled up in ribbons and holiday haze
I see the mannequins dressed in satin and pearl
Watching the chaos of the busy world
But down here on the pavement, the crowd is gone
Just the streetlights humming a silent song
The snowflakes drift like dust in the light
Hushing the traffic, painting the night white
I’m walking slow, got nowhere to be
'Cause the only destination is you and me
Oh baby, keep the fire low and the music loud
We’re two lost angels on a tinsel cloud
I don’t need the diamonds, I don’t need the rush
Just your whiskey kisses and a velvet hush
Yeah, the world is freezing, but we’re burning bright
Slow dancing through this holy, heavy night
Merry Christmas... my love
Hear that distant rhythm, sleigh bells in the dark
Echoing softly through the empty park
The air smells like cinnamon and old pine trees
A cinematic moment, floating on the breeze
My heels click-clack on the cobblestone
Running back to the kingdom that we own
Leave the cold outside, lock the heavy door
I don’t want to share you anymore
Oh, baby, keep the fire low and the music loud
We’re two lost angels on a tinsel cloud
I don’t need the diamonds, I don’t need the rush
Just your whiskey kisses and a velvet hush
Yeah, the world is freezing, but we’re burning bright
Slow dancing through this holy, heavy night
Just you and the lights
Mmm, merry and bright
Close your eyes, darling
Let it snow
