lyrics

Carli was my childhood sweetheart
Growing up in a small town
We would go off and lay down in the tall grass
Tell our secrets when nobody was around

She wanted to be an actress
Play a role up on a Broadway stage
I just wanted to go to New York
‘Cause I felt that all my dreams were waiting there for me

The summers passed, the years got older
And time, well it went by like it does
My love was leaving for the City
And I feared that there would be no more of us

Oh that night I wept my eyes dry
I cried “Oh New York why did you steal from me my only love?
And I swear one day I will come to you
So that I can live among my dreams”

Oh the nights that I’d get lonely
And read the letters and the Christmas cards she’d send to me Then I’d close my eyes and wish that she was here
And that all my dreams weren’t all so far away

It was December in one of my low times
I heard a knock upon the door
I opened it to see my Carli
And I said, “I thought you were in New York”

And she said, “Darlin’, don’t be foolish
I came to spend my holiday with you
I wanted to feel at home this Christmas
And the only place I’ve felt that is with you”

Oh Carli, how I love you
You make all my dreams come true
I swear I will always remember
The Christmas that you brought New York to me
