Christmas Cake (Nevin)

I want a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shop window

Where the reindeer fly and it always snows

I want a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shop window

Where the robins sing and the pine trees grow

And the children skate on a little mirror lake

I want a Christmas like the Christmas on a Christmas cake

Some people roll their eyes and shudder at the thought

They say it's all commercialised, it's not magic anymore

Well if that's the way they want it, it's all the same to me

'cause it's not what you look at, it's what you choose to see

And I see a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shop window

Where the toys pile high up on Santa's sleigh

Yeah, I see a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shop window

Where the snow man's smile never melts away

And the children skate on a little mirror lake

I want a Christmas like the Christmas on a Christmas cake

The years seem to go faster, you might think I'd have enough

Of all the sugar plaster and that jolly holly stuff

But each year that passes it means a little more

'cause every Christmas day is made of all the ones before

Yeah, every Christmas day is made of all the ones before

I want a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shop window

Where the reindeer fly and it always snows

Yeah, I want a Christmas like the Christmas in the cake shopwindow

Where the robins sing and the pine trees grow

And the children skate on a little mirror lake

I want a Christmas like the Christmas on a Christmas cake

I want a Christmas like the Christmas on a Christmas cake
