And there were carols in the square
Laughter everywhere
Couples kissing under the mistletoe
I can't help reminiscing
Knowing I'll be missing
Christmas Eve in my home town.
Nothing can erase
Mem'ries I embrace
Those familiar footprints upon the snow
There's so much to remember!
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my home town
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might!
I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men journeyed far
Guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise man, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my home town.
