[Intro – Sleigh bells, sparkling vibraphone and warm jazz piano] [Spoken – Male baritone, charming and playful] Well, look at that snow falling tonight... I'd say Christmas is right on time! [Verse 1 – Warm male crooner, upright bass and brushed drums] The streets are dressed in silver white, The shop windows are warm and bright, The bells are ringing down the lane, While snowflakes dance against the pane. The radio is playing low, The fire puts on a golden glow, There's nowhere else I'd rather be, Than here with you, just you and me. [Pre-Chorus – Soft strings, gentle sleigh bells and rising piano] The stars above are shining clear, There's wonder in the atmosphere, And every wish I've ever known, Feels like a dream that's found its home. [Chorus – Full big band, lively brass, sleigh bells and swinging piano] Oh, Christmas is better with you, With mistletoe and a kiss or two, With bells that ring and hearts that sing, And joy that makes the whole world swing! Let the winter winds blow free, There's no place I'd rather be, Your loving smile, your warm embrace, Make Christmas the most wonderful place! [Instrumental Interlude – Trumpet melody answered by tenor saxophone, playful piano fills, sleigh bells and walking double bass] [Verse 2 – Relaxed swing, piano, brushed drums and acoustic bass] The fireplace is burning gold, Outside the night is crisp and cold, The Christmas tree is dressed to shine, And your hand is resting close to mine. A little cocoa, something sweet, A merry tune with dancing feet, The clock can wait, the night can stay, Let's dance until the break of day. [Pre-Chorus – Strings, vibraphone and soft brass harmonies] The stars above are shining clear, There's wonder in the atmosphere, And every wish I've ever known, Feels like a dream that's found its home. [Chorus – Bright brass section, full rhythm and festive bells] Oh, Christmas is better with you, With mistletoe and a kiss or two, With bells that ring and hearts that sing, And joy that makes the whole world swing! Let the winter winds blow free, There's no place I'd rather be, Your loving smile, your warm embrace, Make Christmas the most wonderful place! [Instrumental Break – Swinging trumpet solo, playful trombone responses, saxophone harmonies, piano and prominent sleigh bells] [Bridge – Softer vocal, warm strings and gentle piano] So let the snow fall soft and slow, And let the Christmas candles glow, If I could make one wish come true, I'd spend each Christmas next to you. [Final Chorus – Full big band, energetic brass, layered strings and joyful sleigh bells] Oh, Christmas is better with you, With mistletoe and a kiss or two, Let trumpets play, let bells ring bright, Let's celebrate this special night! Let the winter winds blow free, You're all the Christmas I will need, Your loving smile, your warm embrace, Make every Christmas a special place! [Outro – Piano, vibraphone, soft saxophone and sleigh bells] [Spoken – Male baritone, smiling] Merry Christmas, darling... Now, how about one more dance? [Ending – Joyful brass flourish, piano chord and sparkling sleigh bells]
