Mary, It’s Christmas Lyrics

You should see all the lights in our old neighborhood
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 noticed, I slipped off to be here

'Cause 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
Guess it's time I got up, took myself back home

But 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?

Oh-oh, 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 ′til then
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 took myself back home
