Lights on the Rooftop by Cordelia Cross Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Morning frost on the houses, sunlight on the snow

Neighbors calling out before the crowds begin to grow

Boxes spilling open on the sidewalks one by one

Everyone insisting that the fun has just begun

Ladders tilt like towers on a mission to the sky

People laughing loudly as the bulbs begin to fly

Every simple stumble feels like part of something grand

A neighborhood of dreamers working hand in hand

[Pre-Chorus]

String by string we lift the night

Turning winter into colored light

[Chorus]

Lights on the rooftops, shining through the air

Blinking like a heartbeat that the whole block shares

Turn the music louder, feel the warmth compare

Tonight the town is glowing

Lights on the rooftops everywhere

[Verse 2]

Dusk creeps in behind us while the decorations rise

Warm breath swirling upward in the pale December skies

Kids run circles laughing as the snow begins to fall

Parents trade their stories as they hang the lights along the wall

Someone brings a speaker and a playlist full of cheer

Voices blend together in a tune we all can hear

Little moments stack like lights in tidy rows

Building something brighter than the sum of what we chose

[Pre-Chorus]

Neighbors gather shoulder close

Winter sings the song we chose

[Chorus]

Lights on the rooftops, shining through the air

Blinking like a heartbeat that the whole block shares

Turn the music louder, feel the warmth compare

Tonight the town is glowing

Lights on the rooftops everywhere

[Final Chorus]

Lights on the rooftops, stretching down the street

Every house a monument to moments we repeat

Turn the volume higher, feel the joy complete

Tonight the town is glowing

Lights on the rooftops bright and sweet

Lights on the rooftops bright and sweet
