You should see all the lights in our old neighborhood
I never thought that little street could ever look so good
I knew that she`d be busy, it`s her favorite time of the year
And I don`t think she notice, I slipped off to be here
Mary, it`s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
To spend a little time with you on this special night
God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn`t understand
But Mary, it`s Christmas, and I just had to take that chance
Don`t the snow sure look pretty, as the flakes are fallin` down
It`s a blanket from heaven coverin` the ground
And that cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone
I guess it`s time I got up and took myself back home
Mary, it`s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
To spend a little time with you on this special night
God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn`t understand
But Mary, it`s Christmas, and I just had to take that chance
Well, she`s started askin` questions
Though she`s barely two
Like, if reindeer fly to heaven
Would Santa bring her love to you
Mary, it`s Christmas, and I just had to stop by
To spend a little time with you on this special night
Someday we`ll be together forever, but till then
But Mary, it`s Christmas, and I`ll do the best I can
This cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone
I guess it`s time I got up off my knees and took myself back home
