It's something close to magic When I see you looking at me I won't even be wishing for snow I do most anything to make you smile It's been a hard year It's Christmas Eve and I love you I watch those red lights queued up in the traffic Change quick, I gotta make it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care I watch those red lights sparkle on the tree top Put a present underneath it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care We're passing on traditions To our younger, the wiser ones But I hope that they believe in change So while we sit by the fire Talk about all the moments we've had I know that Christmas joy is free I watch those red lights queued up in the traffic Change quick, I gotta make it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care I watch those red lights sparkle on the tree top Put a present underneath it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care 'Cause every message has a feeling Every feeling counts for something Every message has a meaning I watch those red lights queued up in the traffic Change quick, I gotta make it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care I watch those red lights sparkle on the tree top Put a present underneath it I've waited all year long to tell you that I care I watch those red lights Yeah I watch those red lights
