lyrics

She said “hey there boy would you come here for a second?
It's Christmas eve and I don’t have a date."
He shrugged and said why not, he had nothing better to do
“Lets move along now or we’ll be late.”

And as they danced the night away, something stirred within their hearts,
something stirred within their souls, and both them knew.
Sixteen years old on Christmas eve, and all else fell away,
and he knew she could feel it too.

He drove her to the party, they walked into the front door,
and neither of them knew quite what to say.
He asked her to dance, she laughed and said “sure,
but first could you please tell me your name?”

Again they danced the night away, and something stirred within their hearts.
Something stirred within their souls, and both them knew.
Sixteen years old on Christmas eve, and all else fell away,
And she knew he could feel it too

A teenage dream or is it love?
A passion with no rhyme or reason.
Is it real, is it wrong, to drag us all along?
Or is it just the magic of the season?

Three years passed then high school graduation,
and a college scene Christmas eve ball.
A hand drew her to the the dance floor and as she looked into his eyes,
saw three years had changed nothing at all.

So once again they danced the night away, and it stirred within their hearts,
familiar stirs within their souls, and both them knew,
Nineteen years old on Christmas eve, they couldn’t help but say;
“Yeah, I feel it too.”

A move a ring a question and an answer.
The moment at least was easy to perceive.
He could see it going down like they were sixteen again,
on the dance floor, on Christmas eve.

Again they danced the night away, and it stirred within their hearts,
and it stirred within his soul, it was time he knew.
Twenty-three years old on Christmas eve, he pulled her to the side,
said, "hey I’ve got something to ask you."

He said "hey there girl would you come here for a second?
Its Christmas eve and I’ve got something to ask you"
