Lyrics
See the lights in Trafalgar Square//Christmas music fills the air//Norwegian spruce, 60 feet high//Smiling children skipping by ===v2==== Department stores are all around//Selling Christmas by the pound//It's a wonderous place to be//'Cos my baby's coming home to me ===v3=== Salvation army band is here//Shiny buttons, and Christmas cheer//She offers round the collection box//Hear the silver as it drops ===(middle 8)=== A father and a daughter shouldn't fight like she and I//She said she was leaving - and I said "Goodbye!"//With 10 years slipped between us, now I'm waiting for her train//I catch her eye, begin to cry, then she's in my arms again ===v4=== See the busker underground//Grateful for this dry place he's found//Smiling bravely, singing strong//Merry Christmas, everyone.
