Just another night in New York City

Snow comes down, looks real pretty

Dont know how but suddenly there you are

With Jelly Roll Morton playin for the bar Inside here, lights are low

But each song has its own glow

As he floats them through that smoky air

You just cant believe hes really there How old is he, cannot say

But claims he taught cab calloway

And on this night I somehow believe him

Knows every song that Christmas got Even ones my brain has dropped

Just him and that old fir tree

All lit up this night

Electric blue Just another night in New York City

Snow comes down, looks real pretty

Cant believe but suddenly there you are

Talking with strangers sittin cross the bar Suddenly, all are laughin

This nights smart, always craftin

Building bridges nearly everywhere

Hits a wall, it just builds a stairs Outside the colored lights they bleed

For snow is white and colors need

As it just comes down like pure salvation

It offers all its amnesty And makes your neighbor different see

By the light of that fir tree

And this old bar

Electrified in blue I gotta drop dead simple, childhood view of salvation

Perhaps thats how it was always meant to be

And the more I add up all this information

It seems it all comes down in the end to you and me So you look around till you find a phone

Then you call your mom and everyone at home

And the bar looks on and they start to cheer

When you talk to folks you havent seen in years And the snow comes down and the children play

And they pray to God, it never goes away

And a childhood prayer should never be denied

As the night rolls on till its carolized Carolized

Carolized

Carolized

Carolized And on this tree the lights are done

But the colors here are down one

I guess it kind of fits the situation

Ornaments still shining bright Watch them glitter in the light

Just this old fir tree and me

All lit up this night

Electric blue
