Picture Perfect Christmas

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
