It was Christmas Eve, and the snow was falling
The lights were twinkling on the streets so bright
I wandered 'round this lonely town
With memories heavy like the winter night
I met her in a bar, where the music played
Her laugh was warm, like a whiskey shot
We danced and sang, oh, we felt alive
But now I'm just a ghost in a forgotten spot
Oh, the dreams we had, they faded fast
In this city of hopes, we thought would last
But the bars are empty, the laughter's gone
It's a Christmas in the city, where love's moved on
I remember those nights when we'd chase the dawn
With our hearts on fire, we were never wrong
You promised me the world, but it slipped away
Now I'm lost in this fog, and you're miles away
I sit by the window, watch the people go
With their hearts on their sleeves, they put on a show
But deep down I know, it's not the same
Without you beside me, it's a cold, cruel game
Oh, the dreams we shared, they faded fast
In this city of hopes, we thought would last
But the bars are empty, the laughter's gone
It's a Christmas in the city, where love's moved on
So raise a glass to the nights we knew
To the songs we sang, and the love that grew
But the streets are dark, and the lights burn low
In this Christmas haze, we're just shadows in the glow
Oh, the dreams we had, they faded fast
In this city of hopes, we thought would last
But the bars are empty, the laughter's gone
It's a Christmas in the city, where love's moved on
So here's to the nights we can't forget
To the love we lost and the pain we met
In this Christmas city, we'll find our way
Through the heartache and the joy of another day
