Christmas trees and window panes 
Shimmering where tinsel hangs 
And the butter light of candlesticks 
Chases snowflakes off the bricks 

The postman is shivering 
With packages he's delivering 
Ribbons pulled and try to hide 
Wishes waiting warm inside 

And everything looks better in gold and green 
The lights on the trees shining all through the city 
Are the prettiest I've ever seen 
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight 

The carolers they sing noel 
Silent night and silver bells 
And all around you snow will fall 
Like confetti stars and paper dolls 

And everything looks better in gold and green 
The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children 
Are the prettiest I've ever seen 
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight 

The first noel 
The angels did say 
Was to certain poor shepherds 
In fields where they lay 

Everything looks better in gold and green 
Everything looks better in gold and green 
Everything looks better in gold and green 
Everything looks better in gold and green 
Everything looks better 
Everything looks better
