This weather's getting old
And Tinseltown is grey
And work, it gets me nowhere
I need a holiday
But the Christmas lights are on
In the home that we have built
And the love that we've put in it
Is all that matters still
And it's not like me to say this
And I know you never asked
But you know you are the greatest
And there's a time for saying that
When the kids are in their beds
And the tv flickers on
And we stumble round the kitchen
Dancing to those Christmas songs
I'm done with looking back
There will be time for that
A movie reel of memories
Shines golden through the black
Next year will be our year
I feel it in my bones
But for these short few hours
For once we are alone
No Christmas bells are ringing
No star in Glasgow's sky
No choir of angels singing
But who needs that tonight?
If this is all there is
It's all there needs to be
A simple quiet moment
Unfolding happily
