(Verse 1) The city’s dressed in white tonight, The taxis crawl in single file, The lights on Fifth are burning bright, But I’ve only got eyes for your smile. The Salvation Army bells ring clear, While chestnuts roast on every street, Darlin’, it’s the time of year When my heart admits defeat. (Chorus) It’s snowfall on Park Avenue, And I’m falling for you all over again. Every flake that drifts on the midnight blue Writes your name across the winter wind. The world is wrapped in silver and red, But the only glow I see Is the one that’s burning in my head— Baby, won’t you spend this Christmas Eve with me? (Verse 2) We’ll skate beneath the Plaza clock, Then warm our hands at Rockefeller’s tree, I’ll steal a kiss behind the flock Of angels watching silently. No diamond ring from Tiffany’s Could sparkle like your eyes, Just give me one more night like this, And I’ll be rich till New Year’s arrives. (Chorus) It’s snowfall on Park Avenue, And I’m falling for you all over again. The doormen tip their hats, the windows shine brand-new, But none of it means a thing if you’re not walkin’ in. Let the whole town keep its tinsel and cheer, I’ve got all the holiday I need right here— Under snowfall on Park Avenue, Merry Christmas, darling… I love you. (Bridge – half-time, strings swell) When the clock strikes twelve and the carols fade, And the last champagne is poured, I’ll still be holding you in the promenade, The happiest man in this whole wide world. (Final Chorus – big finish) Yeah, it’s snowfall on Park Avenue, And I’m falling… can’t help falling… forever for you. So let the north wind howl, let the whole world sing, I’ve got the only gift a fellow could want this year— You, sweetheart… you.
