Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lovers froze, nose to nose
Melting snow below the mistletoe
Heaven knows I'm on the naughty list
Sleigh bells ring and carols sing
Out of tune, wouldn't change a thing
Pogoes are playing, glasses clink
[PreChorus]
While I keep dreaming and
Wishing on a star
Close but no cigar
I know this time of year can be so hard
[Chorus]
The kids all write their wish list
The drunks have one or two
Salvation at the army, they're trying feed a few
The doctors and the nurses all work from moon to noon
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without you
[Verse 2]
Put the angel on the tree
Piles of presents underneath
Pop-up bar and had too much to eat
Stockings will be filled with songs
Turkey's dry as cooked too much
Little ones as happy as can be
[PreChorus]
They're dreaming and
Wishing on a star
Close but no cigar
I know this time of year can be so hard
[Chorus]
While the kids all write their wish list
The drunks have one or two
Salvation at the army, they're trying feed a few
The mums are working overtime for Santa and for you
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without you
