Tinsel and Lights

Walked down the street as the snow started falling

Stamping our feet, all the taxicabs crawling

You said, "I'm so cold I can't remember my name"

And I said the same

He took her photo and said he adored her

A New York martini, it literally floored her

And we played Miss America over again

And again and again

Oh, and that was a New York Christmas, baby

Oh, that was the way it should be done

Oh, we saw the sights

The tinsel and lights

Looking down the barrel of a gun

Years have gone by and we're all so much older

The winters got warmer, the last years got colder

And we've all heard some things about how the time goes

That we'd rather not know

Oh, and that was a New York Christmas, baby

Snowflakes like diamonds in her hair

We watched them all

Sparkle and fall

Something almost true was in the air

Yeah, that was a New York Christmas, baby

Yeah, that was the way it was back then

Oh, we saw the sights

Tinsel and lights

You kissed me in the snow and that was when

I fell in love with Christmas once again
