[Verse 1] You should see all the lights in our old neighborhood I never thought that little street could ever look so good I knew that she would be busy, it is her favorite time of the year And I do not think she notice, I slipped off to be here [Chorus] Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night God knows if she could see us now, she would not understand But Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to take that chance [Verse 2] Do not the snow sure look pretty, as the flakes are falling down It is a blanket from heaven covering the ground And that cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone I guess it is time I got up and took myself back home [Chorus] Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night God knows if she could see us now, she would not understand But Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to take that chance [Interlude] Well, she is started asking questions Though she is barely two Like, if reindeer fly to heaven Would Santa bring her love to you [Chorus] Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night God knows if she could see us now, she would not understand But Mary, it is Christmas, and I just had to take that chance [Outro] This cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone I guess it is time I got up off my knees and took myself back home
