Colored lights
Gleam and glitter
Overhead you shine
And never wither

Colored lights
You’re up so high
I can’t reach you
No matter how hard I try

Colored lights
Oh, why can’t you stay
Why is it only for
A handful of days

Colored lights
Won’t you stay so bright
I’ll see you next year
When I’m tucked goodnight
