  Verse 1

  Muddy boots by the green shed door Kettle singing, steam climbing high You always knew what the day was for Making a home out of mud and sky

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you show us how Love gets done with your two hands So lift the roof up, lift it now

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, light up the room Nothing dims you, nothing ever will Carol, we sing away the gloom Your kind of warm, there's no standing still

  Verse 2

  You leave the door on the latch for us Tea gone cold but you don't mind at all Whatever storm kicks up a fuss You're the steady one who won't let us fall

  Bridge

  Here's to the hands that never stopped giving Here's to the heart that made this living

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, light up the room Nothing dims you, nothing ever will Carol, we sing away the gloom Your kind of warm, there's no standing still

  Outro

  Kettle's on, the boots are still there Come on in, Carol, this is your year

  Verse 1

  Glass is sweating on the table Three cups waiting, none of them poured You walk in and change the weather Every heart here leans toward

  Pre-chorus

  We been saving up the sunshine Holding back the horns and drums Waiting on you to walk in

  Chorus

  Carol, light the whole room up You're the reason we made merry Pour it out and pass it round Nobody shines like Carol, Carol

  Verse 2

  You could fill an empty kitchen Just by laughing at the door Every year you get here safely Feels like winning something more

  Bridge

  Let the candles catch the moment Let the mugs stay cold and still We don't need the drink to warm us You do that, you always will

  Chorus

  Carol, light the whole room up You're the reason we made merry Pour it out and pass it round Nobody shines like Carol, Carol

  Outro

  Let the glass keep on sweating We got everything we need

  Verse 1

  Smoke curls up past the yellow light Crates stacked high, glasses catching bright You laugh loud and the whole room turns That's the kind of warmth that burns

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, light the room again Nobody leaves the way they came in You make the ordinary feel like gold Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

  Verse 2

  Someone tips the ashtray, spills it wide Nobody cares, you're by our side We stack the empties, pour some more Every year you're worth toasting for

  Pre-chorus

  We've counted candles, lost the count Doesn't matter, love's the amount Raise it up now, here it comes

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, light the room again Nobody leaves the way they came in You make the ordinary feel like gold Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

  Bridge

  Under lights that hum and flare We're better simply because you're there Every year adds to the tale

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, light the room again Nobody leaves the way they came in You make the ordinary feel like gold Carol, we're glad that you're getting old

  Outro

  Smoke still curling, light still low You're the reason we don't want to go
