I picked out a tree
And I tied it to the car
There´s a wreath up on our door
Eight tiny reindeer in the yard
I drove under the downtown lights
Red and green and blue
The silver neon snowflakes
Only made me think of you
It´s Christmas all around me
You´re in someone else´s land
So I´m sending out my only wish
Hey Santa tell the man

Hey mister send my baby home
This December I don´t want to be all alone
Oh Christmas in America
I need you in my arms
Far away from harm
Mister send my baby home

I hear someone singing jingle bells
No wait that deck the halls
And the teenagers with candy canes
Ramble through the malls
The girls are down at Ruby´s
Trying to find some Christmas cheer
There´s not much to do but drink too much
When everyday´s unclear
So here I am on Christmas eve
This silent holy night
And I reach up to the stars for you
And I pray that you´re alright

What happened to the peace on earth
All that goodwill toward men
Oh come on all ye faithful
It´s time to think again
