Christmas in Hong Kong

Intro

Bell tinkles, la-la-la, uh

Sangdaan faai lok (Merry Christmas), la-la

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse

Morning rush on Queen's Road, coffee in my hand

Window displays like paper maps of a wonderland

Bags on my arm, glitter on the pavement

Warm milk tea steaming, laugh lines like payment

Street stalls humming, scarves and tiny lights

A choir of footsteps through the malls and the nights

Tinsel in the escalator, ribbon in the air

Everyone's searching for a little piece to share

Pre-chorus

Wrap it up in silver, tie it with a song (yeah)

Send a smile down the escalator, carry it along (carry it)

Little hands, big hearts, every corner's humming

Feel that feeling — oh, it's coming, it's coming (oh)

Chorus

Christmas in Hong Kong, come on, come on, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, sing it loud, sing it strong, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, lights and laughter all night long

Christmas in Hong Kong, give a gift, feel the glow, whoa-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, Christmas in Hong Kong (oh-oh)

Verse

Star Ferry crossing, glitter on the waves

Skylines leaning close like friends in holiday parades

Double-decker bells ringing, postcards in my coat

Shop windows wink, and the whole street is a note

Neon-free, I won't say it — but the harbor holds a shine

Paper bags with secrets, handwritten lines

I pass a stranger coffee, she laughs and then she sings

A little paper star folded from good things

Pre-chorus

Hands in gloves, handing out the little wonder (yeah, yeah)

Kids with curly names, running under thunder of laughter (run)

We wrap the midnight moments, tuck them in with care

Pass them down the alleys, leave them everywhere (leave them)

Chorus

Christmas in Hong Kong, come on, come on, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, sing it loud, sing it strong, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, bags and ribbons, bells that gong

Christmas in Hong Kong, give a gift, feel the glow, whoa-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, Christmas in Hong Kong (oh-oh)

Bridge

Na-na-na, ta-ta-touch the present, feel the paper, feel the love (feel it)

Heyi ya, hey-hey, clap your hands for seasons and for strangers (clap)

We fold up wishes in a corner, tape 'em neat and tight (tight)

Pass them down the market, pass them through the night (pass it on)

Sangdaan faai lok, sing it once, sing it twice (sing it)

Give a little kindness, tuck a coin, pay the price (pay it forward)

Uh-huh, oh-oh, don't keep it, don't keep it (no)

Share the bag, share the song, feel it lift you up and lift you long

Chorus

Christmas in Hong Kong, come on, come on, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, sing it loud, sing it strong, oh-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, crowds and carols in the rain (in the rain)

Christmas in Hong Kong, give a gift, warm again, whoa-oh

Christmas in Hong Kong, Christmas in Hong Kong (oh-oh)

Christmas in Hong Kong, Christmas in Hong Kong (oh-oh)
