This Winters Night by The Green Pajamas Lyrics

So long ago we ran and played together in the falling snow
Your pretty face and your hands in mittens wrapped around my waist
That winter's night we kissed each other underneath the dim street light

Black submarines are hiding in the ocean on this Christmas Eve
Our little wars are as damaging as battles fought on distant shores
Now all I want is to kiss the waitress at the local haunt

Half the world is weeping, half the world is sleeping
What in the world could be more important than love
Half the world is weeping, half the world is sleeping
What in the world could be more important than love

This winter's night we're gathered here together in the candle light
The winter's chill is gone and for a little while the wind is still
This winter's night we are free of all the problems of our plight

It's Christmas time for just a while
Don't wonder why or wonder how
For Christmas bells are ringing out right now
One day in December why can't this Christmas go on for ever
