Lyrics

V1
The cars they slide up First Avenue
The wind it whispers and cries
And the people on the sidewalk make angels where they fall
There are haloes 'round the streetlights

Ch
There's snow in the city
The night before Christmas
There's snow in the city (2x)

V2
It?s drifted up high on the windowsill
We scoop it into bowls
We add sweet sugar and strong, dark vanilla
While the midnight bell tolls.

Ch
Bridge
And this tiny tree in this tiny room
Paints our faces red and blue
And I'd wrap up my love, if only I could
Sticky with sap from this evergreen wood

V3
Later on, we'll go take a walk
Through the empty streets and the silent night
And we slide down the stairs of the old brownstones
And kiss in the flickering white.

Ch
