Lyrics
You know nothing warms my heart
like the coldest time of year
When the cards are full of wishes
and the mistletoes appear
Street lit up like broadway
The crooners start to sing
Sure I’ve got my problems but
Christmas fixes everything
It can fix the broken heart
That she gave me in July
and all the stress I’ve got at work
won’t even cross my mind
It’s a little nip of whiskey
when my body can’t relax
Once we hit December, babe,
there ain’t no turning back
Maple sugar sweet the kid in me comes ‘round again
On Christmas
On Christmas
Nothing’s ever wrong for long cause
time and time again
Once I hear those sleigh bells ring
Christmas fixes everything
The days are getting shorter
and I start to feel alone
Thank god there’s a time of year
when everyone comes home
All quiet on the western front
cause Christmas stopped the war
Let go of your grudges
we don’t need them anymore
Maple sugar sweet the kid in me comes ‘round again
On Christmas
On Christmas
Nothing’s ever wrong for long cause
time and time again
Once I hear those sleigh bells ring
Christmas fixes everything
For as long as I can remember
I’ve been praying we could stay
Here in sweet December’s warm embrace
Can’t we stay?
