Mary, It's Christmas

You should see all the lights in our old neighborhood I never thought that little street could ever look so good I knew that she'd be busy, it's her favorite time of the year And I don't think she notice, I slipped off to be here Mary, it's Christmas and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn't understand But Mary, it's Christmas and I just had to take that chance Don't the snow sure look pretty as the flakes are fallin' down? It's a blanket from heaven coverin' the ground And that cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone I guess it's time I got up and took myself back home Mary, it's Christmas and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night God knows if she could see us now, she wouldn't understand But Mary, it's Christmas and I just had to take that chance Well, she's started askin' questions, though she's barely two Like, if reindeer fly to heaven, would Santa bring her love to you Mary, it's Christmas and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night Someday we'll be together forever but till then But Mary, it's Christmas and I'll do the best I can This cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone, I guess It's time I got up off my knees and took myself back home
