Christmas Lights on Main Street

There’s a wreath hanging down at the old drugstore And a little

red bow on the courthouse door The diner windows are covered in

white And the whole town’s glowing on Christmas night

Kids are running down the sidewalk laughing Their parents calling,

“Slow down, you’ll miss it!” Every little house has a story to

tell And the church bell rings from the top of the hill

Christmas lights on Main Street Shining like they always have

Every window, every doorway

Bringing back the years we had

There’s a little bit of magic

In every colored light

Christmas lights on Main Street Making everything feel right

Old Mr. Wilson’s got his ladder out

He’s hanging lights while his dog runs around

The bakery’s giving away cinnamon rolls And somebody’s singing on the radio

I see folks I haven’t seen since summer Standing outside talking to

one another

Funny how December

brings everybody near

Makes a small town feel even smaller

this time of year

Christmas lights on Main Street Shining like they always have

Every window, every doorway

Bringing back the years we had

There’s a little bit of magic

In every colored light

Christmas lights on Main Street Making everything feel right

And someday

these old streets might change

New names on the signs,

new faces in the frame But I hope somebody stops and looks

around

And remembers what Christmas felt like in this town

There’s a couple holding hands by the courthouse steps A little boy

staring through the window at Santa’s sleigh

And for just a moment

everything slows

As the snow starts falling on the old dirt road

Christmas lights on Main Street Shining like they always have

Every window, every doorway

Bringing back the years we had

There’s a little bit of magic

In every colored light

Christmas lights on Main Street Making everything feel right

So if you’re ever passing through

When December fills the sky

Stop and see those Christmas lights

They’ll make you want to stay awhile
