Christmas Can't Be Far Away - Nick Lowe

A neighbor tipped his hat to me this morning

The landlord even smiled and said good day

And I want you to know a stranger said hello

Christmas can’t be far away

Old tidewad down the street is buying candy

To pass out to the neighbor kids at play

The town is on the go the weather man said snow

Christmas can’t be far away

The small fry on our block have all been saving

And now they’re hiding things and looking sly

Mom will get that do-dat she’s been craving

And dad’ll get his usual Christmas tie

Both young and old are planning sweet surprises

They’ll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay

Good will is in the air you feel it everywhere

Christmas can’t be far away

Christmas can’t be far away
