Bring out all of the old decorations Some of them older than us To my new neighbours I say salutations Come shelter in here from the dust Take your cellphone off of the table And look your father straight in the eye Could this stranger become an angel? Could the winter brighten your sky? Somebody, hold out their hand Will somebody count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And Christmas Don't let me down ♪ Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters And all the children lie awake in their beds But can ya fill up the houses with laughter? Shall we dance and honour our dead? Somebody, hold out their hand Will somebody count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And Christmas Don't let me down ♪ Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us Should we go gentle into that cold cold night Now I know you can't grant my wishes But I pray for the world to be kind Now hold out your hand (hold out your hand) Will somebody count off the band Come on, let's light up the town And Christmas Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down
