G#m F#    C#    G#m  F#   C#
No more trouble, in this town
G#m F#  C#           D#m
Silent night, for a change
G#m    F#  C#        G#m F# C#
Brand New Year coming up a head
              G#m F#  C#               D#m
You know its been so long since I rang one in
 G#m    F# C#                    G#m   F# C#
Close my eyes,  think about the path I took
             G#m        F# C#                 D#m
Just when I think these times have gotten the best of me

Chorus:
              B             F#
I can see my mother in the kitchen
    B             F#
My father on the floor
 B             F#            C#
Watching tele-vision, its a wonderful life
 B                F#
Cinnamon candles burning
  B                F#
Snowball fights outside
  B                F#                  C#
Smiles below each nose and above each chin
  B               C#            F#
Stomp my boots before I go back in

I wasted my wishes on Saturday nights
Boy, what I would give for just one more
I'd soften my heart, shock the world
Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?
Light my way, lift my head, light my way

Chorus:
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television, its a wonderful life
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights out-side
Smiles below each nose and above each chin

Family all to-gether
Presents piled high
Frost on all the windows, what a wonderful night
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights out-side
Smiles below each nose and above each chin

C#            D#m
So happy they found me
C#            D#m
Love was all around me
  B               C#            F#
Stomp my boots before I go back in
