I awoke with a start on Christmas Eve Floorboards rumblin’ beneath my feet A sound from downstairs, like Christmas songs And someone's down there singing along Gingerly I climbed out of my bed and tip-toed down step by step At the foot of the staircase, through the open door I saw a mysterious shadow dancing on the wall Jumping up and down, arms waving around With tree lights flashin’ and the music so loud Windows were rattlin' to the Christmas tunes As I took a sneak-peak into the room By the record player was a figure I knew A fat old fella in a bright red suit It was Santa dancing with a smile so wide He looked to me with a tear in his eye saying “my oh my, I just can’t believe that they wrote all these great songs for me!” As he put on another festive 45 Said “this one’s an old favourite of mine” Then he held out his hand and asked with glee "May I have this dance on Christmas eve?" I awoke with a start on Christmas day Out on the couch, too much dreaming again I looked at my records scattered around the room And heard the gentle clicking of the run-out groove When something caught my eye under the Christmas tree Red and white wrapping on a new LP And on it a note, signed with a great big kiss said “please can we dance again next Christmas?”

You've got that lost look, I know it so well You look like I feel, so I can tell You're waiting for something, your head's in the clouds And dreams fall like snowflakes that melt on the ground As snow is falling Ain't it lovely to see So dream that this Christmas The loneliness will end And everyone out in the cold Is welcomed home again Let's make amends 'Cause I believe, truly believe In Christmas It's not now or never, it's every year But no one can tell if the next one will be that last one we cheer So promise me something before you go That you'll tell your loved ones how you need them so You say 'see you later' Well see that you do And dream that this Christmas The loneliness will end And everyone out in the cold Is welcomed home again Let's make amends 'Cause I believe, truly believe So here is a dream for Christmas
