It seems like it was yesterday When I was sitting up in my room
Wondering what tomorrow would bring Wondering what I would do
And I awake and watch the snow Come trickling down my window pane
Feeling the moonlight on my face Can't wait for the holidays
But as I go out and seasons change The memories stay the same
And I can't wait to be home again And see all the smiles on their face
If holidays even stay the same The memories stay the same
It's that special time of year To bring it back again
These holidays in the city Make everything so bright
So as I make a wish Be with those you love
Those sweet two nights by the fireplace Reminiscing of days gone by
Strolling down old memory lane Of dreams when I was just a child
I've a guy who ain't listening for any sounds Of a reindeer in Santa trying to make their way down
With gifts for all the good I have done You can do more than each one I've won
But as I go out and seasons change The memories stay the same
And I can't wait to be home again And see all the smiles on their face
Tonight we celebrate What we give and we receive
In a world where there is a hunger For a gift from you and me
The feeling of joy and happiness And love to one and all
Sharing what the season gives Brings light into the hall
It's holidays in the city
It's that special time of year To bring it back again
These holidays in the city Make everything so bright
So as I make a wish Be with those you love
