[Verse 1 - Male Vocals] The frost is on the window, The kettle starts to sing, The same old Christmas movie Plays again on Channel Three. I pour a cup for one, Watch the fairy lights all fade, And hum a tune you’d know If you had ever stayed. [Verse 2 - Female Vocals] I’m wrapping up the evening, Another year alone, Just me and my reflection In the tinsel and the chrome. But out beyond the quiet, The stars all look the same, And I whisper to the night, “Maybe love just lost my name.” [Chorus - Male and Female Vocals] But somewhere in this city, You’re looking at your tree, Feeling just as small and silly As someone just like me. Though we’re strangers in the silence, The snow is soft and white, And I think we’re both still waiting Under the same lights. [Bridge - Alternating Female and Male Vocals] [Female Vocals] I see a shape through the snowfall, A smile I almost know. [Male Vocals] I take one step, another, And the cold begins to go. [Together] Two hearts out in the open, Two wishes come alive, As the church bells start their ringing On Christmas night. [Final Chorus - Both] Now somewhere in this city, We’re standing by one tree, And your hand feels warm and steady As you turn and look at me. No more strangers in the silence, The stars still burning bright, Now I know that love was waiting Under the same lights. [Gentle fade with hums and sleigh bells]
