This Christmas Time
Mist over the chimney tops
Frost on every car that stops
And the market square
Is swingin'
This city scene's a world away
From what you want on Christmas Day
Did someone say
The bells were ringin'?
You wanna go home tonight,
You wanna go home tonight, home tonight
But home's a long way off now...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
Man orders another drink
Couples waltz on the skating rink
And the big wheel turns above them
He says he's full of seasons cheer
As he downs another beer
And prays for someone to love him...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
For all the friends that are lost and gone
And all the years that are yet to come
We'll bring them in like old companions
You wanna go home tonight
You wanna go home tonight, home tonight
But home's a long way off now, home's a long way off now...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
Frost on every car that stops
And the market square
Is swingin'
This city scene's a world away
From what you want on Christmas Day
Did someone say
The bells were ringin'?
You wanna go home tonight,
You wanna go home tonight, home tonight
But home's a long way off now...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
Man orders another drink
Couples waltz on the skating rink
And the big wheel turns above them
He says he's full of seasons cheer
As he downs another beer
And prays for someone to love him...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
For all the friends that are lost and gone
And all the years that are yet to come
We'll bring them in like old companions
You wanna go home tonight
You wanna go home tonight, home tonight
But home's a long way off now, home's a long way off now...
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
Oh, when you close your eyes
This Christmas time
It's ev'rythin' you're missin'
Oh, when you close your eyes
These city lights
Start fadin' in the distance
