I picked out a tree
And I tied it to the car
There's a wreath up on our door

Eight tiny reindeer in the yard
I drove under the downtown lights
Red and green and blue

The silver neon snowflakes
Only made me think of you
It's Christmas all around me

You're in someone else's land
So I'm sending out my only wish
Hey Santa tell the man


Hey mister send my baby home
This December I don't want to be all alone

Oh Christmas in America
I need you in my arms
Far away from harm

Mister send my baby home

I hear someone singing jingle bells

No wait that deck the halls
And the teenagers with candy canes
Ramble through the malls

The girls are down at Ruby's
Trying to find some Christmas cheer
There's not much to do but drink too much

When everyday's unclear
So here I am on Christmas eve
This silent holy night

And I reach up to the stars for you
And I pray that you're alright


What happened to the peace on earth
All that goodwill toward men
Oh come on all ye faithful

It's time to think again
