When We Light Up This Town

The December sky is so grey

And the night time's outlasting the day

Another year's made its rounds

Soon smiles will abound

Baby when we light up this town

Christmas bells hung in the street

On the homes and downtown where folks meet

Any day now

It'll look different and how

Baby when we light up this town

In the square stands our Christmas tree

Decorated for all to see

The bulbs all hang down

Soon they'll amaze and astound

Baby when we light up this town

And if you happen to be down this way

Won't you mosey on by for a stay

Here in our wonderland

Because the folks are so friendly

There's a horn of plenty

That's the way it should be Christmas day

People'll see the glow from afar

Like those three kings who followed a star

Well if they want to come 'round

They'll find a Christmas fairground

Baby when we light up this town

Well the townsfolk are getting the itch

To see the mayor throw the switch

From the back roads to uptown

There won't be a sound

As we wait to light up the town

And suddenly there will be light

The yuletide shining so bright

Not just electricity

But in our hearts don't you see?

Baby when we light up this town

Not just electricity

But in our hearts don't you see?

Baby when we light up this town

This is a rocking little Christmas Country song with a nod to Johnny Cash and the old Sun sound. Hope you enjoy it and it helps you get into the Christmas mood.....thanks for listening!
