Lyrics

Christmas in the city
It’s a beautiful sight
Every window gleams
Like a beacon of light
I watch the snowflakes
They gently fall
How can it be we’re all so small?

All these people
All these faces
All these strangers
I don’t know
Can you see me?
Are you lonely
Making patterns
In the snow?

Christmas in the city
Lost in the crowd
With families and couples
Joyful and loud
They bump against me
As they hurry past
But I feel stuck behind a pane of glass

With these people
With these faces
With these strangers
I don’t know
We’re together
But we’re really
Spending Christmas
On our own

I stand beneath the streetlamp
Bundled against the cold
Wishing that I was with them
A hand right there to hold
The city gets so lonely
I don’t know where to go
And even though I live here
I’ve never felt so far from home

But these people
And these faces
And these strangers
I don’t know
We’re the spirit
Of the city
No one’s really
On their own

So this Christmas
Don’t be strangers
Just remember
You’re not alone
‘Cause at Christmas
There aren’t strangers
Only people
You don’t know

All these people
All these strangers
Merry Christmas
And hello
