[Verse 1]
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

{Pre-Chorus 1]
But out here

[Chorus]
As we all light up
The lights in the city light up
Yeah, we all light up
The lights in the city light up

[Post-Chorus 1]
All the lights

[Verse 2]
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
{Pre-Chorus 2]
So tonight

[Chorus]
As we all light up
The lights in the city light up
Yeah, we all light up
The lights in the city light up

[Post-Chorus 2]
All the lights
All the lights, the lights
All the lights
The lights in the city light up
