The Only Gift

I was making a list

I was checking it twice

In the middle of this

I got tears in my eyes

For in my foolish heart

There was one simple truth

The only gift I wanted was you

I was trimming the tree

I was stringing the lights

While the radio played "Silent Night"

There were present you sent

Though there were quite a few

The only gift I wanted was you

You need to be home with me

Alone with me

Holding me next to the Christmas tree

Kissing under the mistletoe

As candles blow

Please come home soon

It's not the same without you

As the bittersweet night

Had come to an end

I was saying goodbye

To our family and friends

And they all wished me well

And I knew that I knew

The only gift I wanted was you

You need to be home with me

Alone with me

Holding me next to the Christmas tree

Kissing under the mistletoe

As candles blow

Please come home soon

It's not the same without you

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

(la la la la la la...)

The only gift I wanted was you

You need to be home with me

Alone with me

Holding me next to the Christmas tree

Kissing under the mistletoe

As candles blow

Please come home soon

It's not the same without you

I was making a list

I was checking it twice

In the middle of this

I got tears in my eyes

For in my wishful heart

There was one simple truth

The only gift I wanted was you
