[00:15.98]It's Christmastime, the news reminds me On the radio
[00:24.25]But to look outside at passers by
[00:28.32]You really wouldn't know
[00:31.85]In some distant sky,
[00:34.15]Rudolph's flying Bravely through the snow
[00:39.65]But the skies right here are crystal clear
[00:43.51]No sign of Rudolph's nose
[00:50.87]It's Christmas time in Taipei
[00:54.88]But this town is looking pretty much Like any other day
[01:06.30]It's Christmastime in Taipei
[01:10.41]But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's way
[01:22.33]Throughout the day the stores all play Familiar Christmas songs
[01:30.14]And I close my eyes and try to find The heart to sing along
[01:37.58]But those Christmas carols of Jingle Bells
[01:41.79]and dashing through the snow
[01:45.40]They bring memory of family
[01:49.35]And friends I used to know
[01:56.90]It's Christmastime in Taipei
[02:00.76]And I guess I won't be making any angels in the snow
[03:03.10]In a waking dream,
[03:05.17]I think I see you Looking back at me
[03:10.74]As you stand below the mistletoe
[03:14.52]And you smile tenderly
[03:18.33]As the vision fades my smile remains
[03:22.82]And none could ever know
[03:26.05]That behind this smile a wayward child
[03:30.06]Is much too far from home
[03:37.27]It's Christmas time in Taipei
[03:41.73]But this town is looking pretty much
[03:45.69]Like any other day
[03:52.80]It's Christmastime in Taipei
[03:56.94]But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's way
