gold and green

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
