Wait a minute, soon it will be Christmas
Wait a minute, not so fast
Wait a minute, there's magic in the darkness
Need a minute to think about our loved ones
Take a minute, keep them near
Need a minute to think about the lost ones
Out here but out here

As we all light up
The lights in the city light up
Yeah, we all light up
The lights in the city light up
All the lights

Wait a minute, we don't get too much snow here
Everything's so still
Wait a minute, let's dream into the new year
Take a minute and let's get disconnected
Take a minute, there's still time
Take a minute for something unexpected tonight
So tonight

As we all light up
The lights in the city light up
Yeah, we all light up
The lights in the city light up
All the lights
All the lights
The lights
All the lights
The lights
The lights in the city light up
