[Intro: Sleigh bells and warm piano arpeggios, soft choir hum] [Verse 1] Frost paints lace on windowpanes City lights in muffled haze I string the garland, slow and neat One last bauble left to meet Your hand brushes mine by the tree And suddenly, it’s not just me [Pre-Chorus] Snowflakes pause midair it seems Time folds softly at the seams [Chorus] Christmas is shining with you Not just tinsel, red and blue But the way your laughter fills the room Like carols drifting through the gloom Christmas is shining with you! Every snowfall feels brand new! [Verse 2] We sip cocoa, steam curled high Wrapped in wool beneath the sky Of twinkling bulbs and silent grace You trace my smile, set the pace For a night that needs no sound Just your heartbeat close around [Pre-Chorus] The world outside turns hushed and deep But here, the stars are ours to keep [Chorus] Christmas is shining with you Not just tinsel, red and blue But the way your laughter fills the room Like carols drifting through the gloom Christmas is shining with you! Every snowfall feels brand new! [Bridge: Strings swell, brass enters gently, choir sustains harmony] No grand parade, no golden sleigh Just your eyes saying stay In this quiet, candle-glowed space I’ve found my favorite place [Chorus] Christmas is shining with you Not just tinsel, red and blue But the way your laughter fills the room Like carols drifting through the gloom Christmas is shining with you! Every snowfall feels brand new! [Outro: Piano and sleigh bells fade, choir hums chorus melody softly] Shining… with you… (backup vocals: ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Always… with you…
