Snow was fallin' on the ground
Blue lights twinklin' all around
Momma in the kitchen bakin' up a pie
Daddy's got the fire cracklin' singin' sweet lullabies
We were huddled 'round the tree just a little tight-knit crew
With stockings hung by the chimney and dreams wrapped in red and blue
Oh that Christmas of '89
Where the world felt like a dream and every moment shined
We were young and so alive with hope in our eyes
Sippin' hot cocoa watchin' those snowflakes fly
Memories stackin' up like presents beneath the pine
Yeah we were livin' it up in the Christmas of '89
Grandpa told a story 'bout his old guitar
Played a tune that echoed like a bright shining star
And we laughed and we sang oh it felt so right
Even as the cold wind howled outside that night
With the scent of pine and cinnamon fillin' the air
You could find magic everywhere no worries no cares
Oh that Christmas of '89
Where the world felt like a dream and every moment shined
We were young and so alive with hope in our eyes
Sippin' hot cocoa watchin' those snowflakes fly
Memories stackin' up like presents beneath the pine
Yeah we were livin' it up in the Christmas of '89
Now the years keep rollin' by but I hold that night near
In my heart it's a treasure it's crystal clear
Though the seasons change the love will always stay
That Christmas spirit's got a way of never fade away
Oh that Christmas of '89
Where the world felt like a dream and every moment shined
We were young and so alive with hope in our eyes
Sippin' hot cocoa watchin' those snowflakes fly
Memories stackin' up like presents beneath the pine
Yeah we were livin' it up in the Christmas of '89
So here's to the laughter the love and the light
In the heart of a small town on a cold silent night
Oh I'll carry it with me as the years unwind
Forever grateful for that Christmas of '89
