So what am I to do? I toss and turn, but I lie awake The distant dark has taken on an orange glow There was a movie I saw Set in a time quite a while ago Back when my mom and my dad were still a boy and girl The year is '99,a Christmas eve Something could change this city that we love into a whole new place, at least that's how the story goes So what am I to do? There are more nights where I lie awake Teddy dear, I feel like I could talk to you The city's filled with light and cheery steps echo through the lane It's getting closer, what we've all been waiting for Oh here, it comes, The year is '99,a Christmas eve Something has changed the one that I adore into somebody else, another kind The year is '99,a Christmas eve Something could change this city that we love into a whole new place, at least that's how the story goes The year is '99,a Christmas eve Something has changed the one that I adore into somebody else, another kind Oh tell me why I'll come for you just'fore the mor- ning light has reached your door
