What did you over Chirsmtas break?
The moon is out, the stars are bright,
It's quiet on this winter night.
And in the sky so cold and clear,
The northern lights start to apprear.
Red lights, sparkle.....
Green lights, sparkle....
Blue lights, sparkle.....
Yellow lights, sparkle...
But when the sun pokes out her head,
It's time for the lights to go to bed.
There's a little wheel a turning in my heart,
There's a little wheel a turning in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart
There's a little wheel a turning in my heart.
Extra Verses:

3.There's a little bell a ringing in my heart.
4.There's a little love a living in my heart.
Love grows under the wild oak tree,
Sugar melts like candy.
Top of the mountain shines like gold
And you make a wish and hold it sort of.. handy
Dreams, dreams, sweet dreams
Under the wild oak tree
Dreams, dreams, sweet dreams
One for you and one for me.
