(Da-da-da, da, da, da)

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)

(Where we met on Christmas Eve)

She's an [?] I'm working class

And I treated her real bad

I never got to apologize

About the man who made you sad

I know I set the lock 'cause I was wild

When you're young you're a machine

We were drinkin' with the Idlewild

In the days of speed

And we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the mornin' light

Like we were never goin' home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

Then I moved into her big ol' house

I never been to Saint John's wood

There were movie stars and media types

We were all up to no good

And we are [?] 'cause we were wild

Body twisted where we went (Body twisted where we went)

We were livin' with the Idlewild

In the days of speed

And we met on Christmas Eve

We drank until the mornin' light

Like we were never goin' home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

I know who you're with

I know where you are

I know you found love and you deserved it

I was just a kid but I know what I did

I ask for forgiveness if I'm worth it

We drank until the mornin' light

Like we were never goin' home

And we sang a song a million sing

Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep

But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be

But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream

Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)

(Where we met on Christmas Eve)

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)

(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
