Tinsel and Lights Songtext
von Train

Walked down the street as the snow started falling
Stamping our feet, all the taxicabs 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


Years have gone by and we′re all so much older
The winters got warmer, the last years got colder
And we've all heard some things about how the time goes
That we'd rather not know

Oh, and that was a New York Christmas, baby
Snowflakes like diamonds in her hair
We watched them all
Sparkle and fall
Something almost true was in the air

Yeah, that was a 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
