The city air is cold and clear It's wintry crisp and clean. Stars that once led three wise men Can once again be seen. People laden down with gifts Board a subway train. Rushing home to light a light Beside a windowpane.
It's Christmas in the city People hurry to and fro. Children play and hope and pray That soon there will be snow. It's Christmas in the city Hearts and souls take wings. Carolers on avenues so joyously sing.
People living high above Can view the city lights. They can search for Santa's sleigh On moonlit Christmas lights. Boys and girls with moms and dads Walk the avenue. Christmas trees and holly leaves Are every where in view.
It's Christmas in the city A time of joy and cheer. It's Christmas in the city My favorite time of year. It's Christmas in the city Hearts and souls take wing. Carolers on avenues so joyously sing.
