The Green Pajamas - This Winter's Night lyrics

So long ago we ran and played together in the falling snow Your pretty face and your hands in mittens wrapped around my waist That winter's night we kissed each other underneath the dim street light Black submarines are hiding in the ocean on this Christmas Eve Our little wars are as damaging as battles fought on distant shores Now all I want is to kiss the waitress at the local haunt Half the world is weeping, half the world is sleeping What in the world could be more important than love Half the world is weeping, half the world is sleeping What in the world could be more important than love This winter's night we're gathered here together in the candle light The winter's chill is gone and for a little while the wind is still This winter's night we are free of all the problems of our plight It's Christmas time for just a while Don't wonder why or wonder how For Christmas bells are ringing out right now One day in December why can't this Christmas go on for ever
