Lyrics
Night rolls in on lakeshore drive
Christmas is here dreams are alive
But my eyes rest on a tear stained face
A little frail girl dressed in white
God sure made her pretty alright
I wonder what she's doing in this place
Here I am in a stagecoach riding
Trusting the lord his love abiding
Wanting to give this girl a Christmas smile
Gliding through the magnificent mile
What's your name little girl in white
And what are you doing alone tonight
My name is Anna Marie she replies
Come hop into this coach I ride
No she says with glowing pride
But if you want you may walk with me awhile
I wanna give her one day woven into magic
One day that takes her away from all the tragic
One day amid the twinkling Christmas lights
A smile down the magnificent mile
I buy her all the Christmas goodies
Delicious Christmas wreath shaped cookies
Marshmallows and sweet hot apple pie
As Christmas casts its cloak away
I wish I could find something to say
Something to make Anna Marie smile
As we walk down the magnificent mile
Her home is down on south Oak street
Where people struggle to make ends meet
And out comes a little ragamuffin screaming
Hugging him Anna Marie's smile is beaming
I wanna give her one day woven into magic
One day that takes her away from all the tragic
One day amid the twinkling Christmas lights
A smile down the magnificent mile
It's up to us to gloss the Christmas sky
I'm so glad I didn't let the moment pass me by
I walk down the magnificent mile
I know I made Anna Marie smile
Just a smile, a Christmas smile
Just a smile, down a magnificent mile.
