City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling Of Christmas Children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you'll hear Silver bells Silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling Hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas Day Strings of street lights, even stop lights Blink of bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all the bustle you'll hear Silver bells Silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas Day Soon it will be Christmas Day

Two strangers passing on the sidewalk Barely brush each other's hand He says, I'm sorry. She says, Don't worry. And that is how it all began. A few short days and nights together, And it's like they were meant to be. Lying there with her He softly whispers, Just think what we were so recently. Strangers Strangers World's greatest lovers Last week we were strangers. Two strangers passing in the hallway Barely touch each other's heart. Now they're pretending, Two shadows blending, But they're a million miles apart. Soon she'll be packing up her suitcase. They'll be dividing all the blame. They know how they started, Now empty-hearted They don't have a clue how they became Strangers Strangers World's greatest lovers And now they are strangers. World's greatest lovers Have turned into strangers. Strangers Strangers

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and donkeys are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spears shall pierce him through, The cross he bore for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born, The babe, the Son of Mary. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.

I know a man who lives under his covers Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's playing God And somebody told him that he was no good at Uh uh uh uh uh uh He's talking out of the left side of his mouth And he won't follow These lines he's drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night Three little boys dress up in the morning Uh uh uh uh uh uh Come back home from the school yard Talkin' bout Love But on this occasion the boys feel the same Uh uh uh uh uh uh Something's holding them back there I bet it was their mom And they won't follow These lines he's drawn for them Cause they don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what they see here every night And we both know That people change When truth's not part of their lives I've seen the love in their eyes Don't say goodbye Goodbye I know a man who wakes up in the evening Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's blaming God And somebody told him that he's good for nothing Uh uh uh uh uh uh Now he screen prints American T-shirts Through the night And he won't follow These lines they've drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here Every night

Am I lonely? Oh it feels like when the day breaks Am I wanted inside? Say goodbye, do you feel liked? Wave goodbye, and the heart's not in love We'll be taught We'll be tall Am I lonely? Cause it feels right If I look up, can you keep me alive? Wave goodbye to your family and friends Those lost ants And your eyes bleed when you see Cause nothing works inside We'll be taught We'll be tall
