Tinsel and Lights lyrics

We walked down the street as the snow started falling

Stamping our feet, all the taxi cabs 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

Now years have gone by and we're all so much older

The winters got warmer, then last year's got colder

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

That we'd rather not know

Oh, but that was a New York Christmas, baby

Snowflakes like diamonds in our hair

And we watched them all sparkle and fall

Something almost true was in the air

Yeah, that was our 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
