[Verse 1]
We walked down the street as the snow started falling
Stamping our feet all the taxi cab crawling
You said "I’m so cold I can’t remember my name"
And I said the same

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, the light was a New York Christmas, baby
Oh, it was the way it should be done
Oh we saw the sights
Tinsel and lights
Looking down the barrel of a gun

[Verse 2]
Now years have gone by and we’re all so much older
The winters gone warmer than last year's got colder
And we all have some things about how the time goes
That we rather not know

[Chorus]
Oh, the light was a New York Christmas, baby
Snowflakes like diamonds in our hair
And 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 in the snow and that was when
I feel in love with Christmas once again
