I heard you sing a song outside
as you strung up all the christmas lights
I watched the daylight dim and die
frankincense and gold and myrrh
the painful world's a beautiful blur
oh baby, don't you know it's christmas eve?
the nutcrackers lined up in the garage
await in silent espionage
as you rearrange upon their a stage
and the microscopic mountain tops
we bought inside the christmas shop
baby, do they know it's christmas eve?
I filled this book all to the brim
with songs of our love caving in
but I'll burn the pages, break the pen
and tonight I'll write you that love song
the one I've promised all year long
oh baby, don't you know it's christmas eve?
seattle is still too far away
and I still curse out loud when I try to pray
oh mercy, take this doubt away.
these fields of snow inside our minds
will melt away in their due time
oh baby, don't you know it's christmas eve?
