THIS CHRISTMAS
Couples under the mistletoe
Keeping warm in the Christmas glow
Children jumping in the snow
The smell of baking and cookie dough
Everything seems so perfect and right
The angels sing in the heavens tonight
But as it comes ’pon a midnight clear
I’d trade it all away just to have you near.
The warmth of your body for this cold winter night
The sparkle of your eyes in this season of lights
Not a creature stirring, ‘cept you and me
Unwrapping our gifts beneath the tall tree
To be by your side is my Christmas wish
But I’m thousands of miles from the one that I miss.
Under the same sky, do you dream from your home?
This Christmas season, I spend alone.
Carolers singing at my door
Parents running from store to store
Children skating on the snow-covered ice
Santa’s visit for those who’ve been nice
Everything seems so perfect and right
Sleigh rides going all through the night
But as jingling bells begin to disappear
I’d trade it all away just to have you here.
They’re singing “Joy to the world!”
And that may well be true
But the silent night haunts me now
All I can think of is you.
Families together for a meal
Heading to mass to bow and kneel
Children laughing as they play
Hot chocolate to take the cold away
Everything seems so perfect and right
The stars shine brightly on this Holy night
But as they deck the halls with holiday cheer
I’d trade it all away to be with you this year.
The warmth of your body for this cold winter night
The sparkle of your eyes in this season of lights
Not a creature stirring, ‘cept you and me
I unwrap you completely beneath the tall tree
That knock on the door took me by surprise
Your smile brought joy back into my life
This Christmas season you came back home
And gave me your gift as I held you close.
