Lyrics
The bar is dressed for Christmas with colored lights,
Renee the landlady looks so nice tonight,
And the lights flickering like her smile
And she still wears her hair in the 1940 style,
She prefers it that way
Tho’ it’s turned from red to grey.
All things change, only one that looks the same,
It’s the fairy on the Christmas tree.

Big Eddie and his songs are growing old,
The piano player blames his fingers,
Says they’re freezing cold,
And the tinsel hardly shines
On the faded paper chains
That limply hangin’ lines
With the laughter in the air
That is breathed and that is shared.
But people change, the only one that stays the same
Is the fairy on the Christmas tree.

Outside by the wall
Where snails have crawled
Leaving tinsel trails
Shining in the moonlight pale,
Lovers promising .
Nothing’s ever gonna change,
The things they share,
Breathing promises of cloudy vapor disappearing
In the frosty Christmas air.
All things change, only one that looks the same,
It’s the fairy on the Christmas tree.
