The lights are up.
The gifts are under the tree.
All I need now
Is you here with me.
The stockings are hung.
Christmas music I hear.
All I need now
Is you to be near.
Snowflakes fall on my lashes
But you can't see this.
I'm under the mistletoe
But without you, there's no kiss.
I see the presents
With the ribbons and bows.
But where's my love this Christmas?
Maybe Santa knows.
I picture us sitting
Looking at the lights.
But what I want for Christmas
Is you holding me tight.
I dream of being together.
I dream of you near.
Maybe not this Christmas
But I can wish for next year.
