You know the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

You're lying so low into the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down on my knees

Now I don't think I can remember
A colder, lonelier December
And I find myself staring out the window

I don't know Rebecca Ferguson and whether she sung it too - I know it as Leona Lewis .

We'll send a message into the night

I didn't bother with the mistletoe
You won't be here to kiss me

A different verse

According to the radio
Warmer weathers on the way
The chances are we won't be getting snow
But even if the sun shines from now to Christmas Day
As far as I'm concerned, I know

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 24/12/2023 17:00

Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days

70s

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 24/12/2023 17:02

Time for presents
And exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs
