Christmas trees and window panes Shimmering where tinsel hangs And the butter light of candlesticks Chases snowflakes off the bricks The postman is shivering With packages he's delivering Ribbons pulled and try to hide Wishes waiting warm inside And everything looks better in gold and green The lights on the trees shining all through the city Are the prettiest I've ever seen And the world decides to sleep safe tonight The carolers they sing 'Noel' 'Silent Night' and 'Silver Bells' And all around you snow will fall Like confetti stars and paper dolls And everything looks better in gold and green The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children Are the prettiest I've ever seen And the world decides to sleep safe tonight The first Noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields where they lay Everything looks better in gold and green (Everything looks better in gold and green) Everything looks better in gold and green (Everything looks better in gold and green) Everything looks better, everything looks better
