Lyrics
1. Carols hold no charm for me
Get sicker of them every year
Shopping?s a calamity
When December comes I want to disappear
But part of me is still a kid
What lifts me up and always did
Chorus
Houses wrapped in Christmas lights
In the velvet sky they glow
Diamonds in the Christmas night
Rainbows in the snow

Fake Santas everywhere I go
My credit cards can?t take the strain
Hear the bill collectors singing ?ho ho ho?
But part of me is still a kid
What lifts me up and always did
Chorus
Houses wrapped in Christmas lights
In the velvet sky they glow
Diamonds in the Christmas night
Rainbows in the snow
Bridge

But part of me is still a kid
What lifts me up and always did
Chorus
Houses wrapped in Christmas lights
In the velvet sky they glow
Diamonds in the Christmas night
Rainbows in the snow
