I was making my 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 my 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
