City lights and mistletoe
Love letter written in the snow

It's Christmas in Washington Square
Remember the fun we had then
I was your snowman
You were my own snowgirl
We were so happy
We'd show the whole wide world

It's Christmas in Washington Square
Our Season for lovers to share
But I lost snow, the love I knew would I lost you last

Christmas, Christmas, in Washington Square

I wrote I love you today in the snow
Just like I did one Christmas ago
It's Christmas in Washington Square
Our Season for lovers to share
But I lost snow, the love I knew would I lost you last

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas in Washington Square
