[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
