Bring out all the old decorations Some of them, they're older than us To my new neighbours, I say salutation Come shelter in here from the dust Take your cellphone off of the table And look your father straight in the eye Could this stranger become an angel? Could the winter brighter your sky? Somebody, hold out their hand Well, somebody, count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And, Christmas, don't let me down Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters And all the children lie awake in their beds But can ya fill up the houses with laughter? Shall we dance and honour our dead? Somebody, hold out their hand Well, somebody, count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And, Christmas, don't let me down Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us Can we go gentle into that cold, cold night Well, I know you can't grant all my wishes Yet I pray for the world to be kind Now, hold out your hand Well, somebody, count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And, Christmas, don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down
