When I was just a boy I dreamed I was a mariachi
Like Vicente Fernandez singing in the movies
And when the church bells rang they woke me up
And I saw the dancing lights
Of San Antonio Christmas
There were German waltzes and accordion polkas
And Spanish guitar and all the different voices
But in the candle light of the Alamo mission
We all sang Silent Night
That San Antonio Christmas
Many years have passed
And I've been on my own now
But I think of my family back in San Antonio
And when I close my eyes I can hear their voices
And I can see the dancing lights
Of San Antonio Christmas
And when I close my eyes I can hear their voices
And I can see the dancing lights
Of San Antonio Christmas
I can see the dancing lights
Of San Antonio Christmas
