Story Behind The Song
self explanitory
Song Description
Impressionistic recall of a large holiday party. It takes place in an upscale venu - perhaps a charity event where peoplel have come dressed to the nine's. One might think of the lyrics as being told from the point of view of a huge live christmas tree in a room with a grand fireplace.

Lyrics
There's dancing and bustle. Sparkle and hustle.
Cheering a glittering occasion.
This is the season. Do you need a reason
To let the music play?
Stay in the wonderful crush of the evening,
Hoping the magic remains.
It sparkles and fades, Inhibitions mislaid
Are expected with pink champagne.
We're all lit up. Gifts in tow
We're all lit up. All aglow
Snowflakes and sparkles. Stars on the ceiling.
Velvet and satin. Hold on to this feeling.
We're all lit up. All lit up. All lit up. All lit up.
In shoes too tight
from the cold of a winter night.
An anxious fire,
Burning pine under the ice.
We're all lit up, toasty and cozy.
Wishing love, to all the world.
Yes, we're all lit up. And I suppose we're
guilty of joy unreserved.
All of the twelve wishes you gave me.
Don't let that bird up in the pear tree
Fly away. On Christmas Day,
Stay forever.
Music is playing. Branches are swaying.
Trembling with anticipation.
Tree lights entangled in bright expectation when
Love is evergreen. And
Snowflakes and sparkles. Stars on the ceiling.
Velvet and satin. Hold on to this feeling.
We're all lit up. All lit up. All lit up.
