Making angels in the snow

And everyone would always have a smile

Sometimes it gets crazy

I'm falling on my knees, yeah

If I lived up on The North Pole
Emaj7
I would stare outside my window
E7 A
And look around at all the shining lights
E
Christmas carols at the front door
Emaj7
Family at the dinner table

And every night would always end just right
