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 presents you sent 
Though there were quite a few 
The only gift I wanted was you 

CHORUS: 
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 
Has come to an end 
I was saying goodbye 
To our family and friends 
And they all wished me well 
And they knew that I knew 
The only gift I wanted was you 

Deck the halls with boughs with holly 
(fa la la la la la la...) 

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 
Has come to an end 
I was saying goodbye 
To our family and friends 
And they all wished me well 
And they knew that I knew 
The only gift I wanted was 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
