Lyrics
Lights on the avenue All seem so far away I'm up here drinking a toast to you On such a special day Tonight is the night for I love you's Wish we could have this feeling Throughout the year Christmas is here Christmas is here Tonight is the night for I love you's And if you hold me near you You'll feel my heart beating for two Tonight is the night for I love you's Up above the snow is falling And stars disappear My heart is coming Christmas is here
