★★★★★★★★★★

Last night, I dreamed of Christmas lights
What’s real in us went just out of sight
Pretended all was right
The brighter the lights, the deeper the night

We smiled, hiding all our pain
A record stuck on the same refrain
We play again, and Christmas
Always feels the same

I’m surrounded by frozen smiles
It’s a picture perfect Christmas
An illusion for a little while
It’s a picture perfect Christmas

We play the part; we keep it bright
There’s winter in our hearts tonight
It’s a picture perfect Christmas

I’m walking under falling snow
The streets are bright; the faces glow
What’s wrong with me?
I’m not the one I should be
Too many dreams I’ve watched let go

I don’t believe the smiles I see
They’re too far away from me

I’m surrounded by frozen smiles
It’s a picture perfect Christmas
An illusion for a little while
It’s a picture perfect Christmas

We play the part; we keep it bright
There’s winter in our hearts tonight
It’s a picture perfect Christmas

Last night, a sign made me feel
The lights around could be for real
My frozen heart could learn to heal
Could learn to heal

I’m surrounded by frozen smiles
It’s a picture perfect Christmas
An illusion for a little while
It’s a picture perfect Christmas

We play the part; we keep it bright
There’s winter in our hearts tonight
It’s a picture perfect Christmas
