Under the lights
The snow is coming down
As the cars pass by on Main
My thoughts drown out the beat
So this is life - I've really made it now
Never worked so hard for so little
And I've worked for free
The house is dark
You're all watching a movie now
As the punchlines and greetings fall
I head down the stairs
And now you're here
We laugh about the time I've had
And the holes in my carpet
And the posters on my dingy walls
We're headed South
Radio is playing loud
And the canyon is a snow globe
As we slide along the slushy road
The family is gathered
I hear the sound of laughter
Familiar voices talking
And Mom brings out the stockings
Suddenly the sorrow
Is swallowed in tomorrow
And in my heart the sweet refrain
I've got my family on Christmas Eve
It's all I need
Suddenly the sorrow
Is swallowed in tomorrow
And in my heart the sweet refrain
I've got my family on Christmas Eve
It's all I need
