The lights on the tree are warm and bright
They've seen so many Christmas nights
The room is filled with laughter and cheer
It's the same love that brings us here
It's not the gifts or the snow outside
It's the love in this room that keeps us alive
Oh, this is Christmas-the lights stay on
Through the years, the distance, the ones who've gone
It's the laughter we share, the stories we know
It's the love that continues to glow
In the quiet, the chaos, the beauty, the song
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
The kids are playing, the fire burns low
We're tangled in ribbons, under mistletoe
The table's not perfect, the dinner's late
But somehow it all feels worth the wait
It's the warmth of a hand, the sound of a name
It's how every year, it still feels the same
Oh, this is Christmas-the lights stay on
Through the years, the distance, the ones who've gone
It's the laughter we share, the stories we know
It's the love that continues to glow
In the quiet, the chaos, the beauty, the song
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
When the nights feel dark and the world feels cold
It's the light of love that we still hold
In the cracks and the flaws, we find what's true
It's the light in the dark that will carry us through
Oh, this is Christmas-the lights stay on
Through the years, the distance, the ones who've gone
It's the laughter we share, the stories we know
It's the love that continues to glow
In the quiet, the chaos, the beauty, the song
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
Oh, this is Christmas-the lights stay on
It's the love that will carry us on and on
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
This is Christmas-the lights stay on
