(Toby Keith ) 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'd be busy, it's her favorite time of the year And I don't think she notice, I slipped off to be here Mary, it's 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 wouldn't understand But Mary, it's Christmas, and I just had to take that chance Don't the snow sure look pretty, as the flakes are fallin' down It's a blanket from heaven coverin' the ground And that cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone I guess it's time I got up and took myself back home Mary, it's 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 wouldn't understand But Mary, it's Christmas, and I just had to take that chance Well, she's started askin' questions Though she's barely two Like, if reindeer fly to heaven Would Santa bring her love to you Mary, it's Christmas, and I just had to stop by To spend a little time with you on this special night Someday we'll be together forever, but till then But Mary, it's Christmas, and Ill do the best I can This cold wind can cut a man clear to the bone I guess it's time I got up off my knees and took myself back home
