We were warm and wonderful 00:06

Once upon a time 00:09

But now we're frozen, hanging by a thread 00:12

Can we wait a minute? 00:18

Or can we just try to try? 00:21

'Cause my favourite day is coming up ahead 00:24

Darling, I know that our love is going cold 00:30

It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year 00:35

That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up 00:39

And hold on a little longer 00:43

Don't have me spending it alone 00:46

This time of year is precious 00:50

Please, can we make it to Christmas? 00:53

Can we make it to Christmas? 00:57

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas? 00:59

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? 01:01

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas? 01:04

(Hold on) make it to Christmas 01:07

Don't know what I'll say to Dad when he sees the empty chair 01:13

Don't want to hear my Mum say, "Told you so" 01:19

Waiting for Santa in my bed is no fun if you're not there 01:25

And I don't want to be angry at mistletoes 01:31

Darling, I know that our love is going cold 01:37

It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year 01:42

Lyrics:

[English]

We were warm and wonderful

Once upon a time

But now we're frozen, hanging by a thread

Can we wait a minute?

Or can we just try to try?

'Cause my favourite day is coming up ahead

Darling, I know that our love is going cold

It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year

That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up

And hold on a little longer

Don't have me spending it alone

This time of year is precious

Please, can we make it to Christmas?

Can we make it to Christmas?

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas?

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Hold on) make it to Christmas

Don't know what I'll say to Dad when he sees the empty chair

Don't want to hear my Mum say, "Told you so"

Waiting for Santa in my bed is no fun if you're not there

And I don't want to be angry at mistletoes

Darling, I know that our love is going cold

It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year

That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up

And hold on a little longer

Don't have me spending it alone

This time of year is precious

Please, can we make it to Christmas?

Can we make it to Christmas?

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas?

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Hold on) make it to Christmas

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas?

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Hold on)

Darling, I know that our love is going cold

It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year

That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up

And hold on a little longer

Don't have me spending it alone

This time of year is precious

Break my heart on Boxing Day

Just, please, can we make it to Christmas?

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas?

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Hold on) make it to Christmas (yeah)

(Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas?

(If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?

(Hold on) make it to Christmas
