Christmas trees and window panes
Shimmering where tinsel hangs
And the butter light of candlesticks
Chases snowflakes off the bricks

The postman is shivering
With packages he's delivering
Ribbons pulled and try to hide
Wishes waiting warm inside

And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees shining all through the city
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The carolers they sing 'Noel'
'Silent Night' and 'Silver Bells'
And all around you snow will fall
Like confetti stars and paper dolls

And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay

Everything looks better in gold and green
(Everything looks better in gold and green)
Everything looks better in gold and green
(Everything looks better in gold and green)
Everything looks better, everything looks better
