one hand holds the future
one hand holds the past
i fell into a long daydream
i thought would always last
i tried to find the spirit
i danced the colored streets
the light of christmas
blinds my eyes
and brings me to my knees
a choir is singing
hymns to better times
inside the house
the presents are hidden
and the holiday soon will be mine
i’ll ring the bells of romance
i’ll kiss the kindest soul
and if there’s wicked winter winds
i’ll shield you from the cold
underneath the decorations
i won’t be alone
i’ll love someone for christmas
stars are always falling
the news is always bad
but the holidays that i spend with you
are the best i ever had
you are so filled with spirit
you dance around the tree
the light of christmas
holds my heart
and keeps you next to me
