What Is Christmas? Lyrics - The Lost Christmas Eve - Trans Siberian Orchestra

What is Christmas? 

Tinseled fairytales 

Day-old stockings lined up in a row 

What is Christmas? 

Could someone tell me that? 

What is Christmas? 

Surely, I don't know 

And everywhere there's lights 

Who needs to color night? 

Could this whole thing be planned? 

I do not understand 

This Christmas 

Trees with colored lights 

Underneath they still are only trees 

Do you think that one day perhaps they might 

Find that Christmas 

Is kind of a disease?

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Every year it's waiting for me 

Waiting for me 

Every year it constantly defies 

Placing strangers 

There before me 

There before me 

Spreading hope and cheer 

Mixed in with happiness 

Fraternal bliss and other Christmas lies! 

And there's one more thing that I have discovered 

That I would now like you to know 

The reason for Christmas, I now realize 

Is an excuse to tolerate snow 

Snow! 

I don't even like the sound of it 

Anyway, where was I? 

Oh, yes!

What is Christmas? 

Candles everywhere 

A fire hazard any other day 

Children light them 

No-one seems to care 

All for Christmas 

Every year it returns here 

And every year it's waiting for me 

Why can't Christmas disappear 

And just pretend it never saw me 

Every year I get my hopes up 

That it will somehow just leave 

But every year I wake to find 

That once again it now is Christmas Eve
