Christmas in Kyoto

I can't forget the time

we spent Christmas in Kyoto

At that small hotel

overlooking the pagoda

with a thousand statues standing at attention and that one the same like in one of those films by what's his name?

Ah, Akira Kurosawa

Who could forget the time

we spent Christmas in Kyoto

On a? so fine in a circle of your kimono

though we have no tree

I feel certain you remember

how your touch sublime

and you holiday spirit let up mine

That Christmas in Kyoto

That perfect Christmas in Kyoto with you

Celebrating Christmas in kyoto

All? a photo only you and me

Has convinced me it is worth believing

In giving and receiving unreservedly

And last for you are not least

The hotel provided sake and a Christmas feast kappa-maki with wasabi

Thru the window

we notice snowflakes started falling

They were right up cute

Systematically falling for me and you

That Christmas in Kyoto

That perfect Christmas in Kyoto with you

That Christmas in Kyoto

That perfect Christmas in Kyoto with you

It's holly and likely I'll soon forget

That Christmas in Kyoto

Up and down chimney

That perfect Christmas in Kyoto with you

The Santa and you

That Christmas in Kyoto with you
