| Uncle flew in today
|
| Grandma is on her way
|
| A stocking stuffed
|
| For each of us
|
| Dizzy from the falling snow
|
| Shying from the mistletoe
|
| Gathered around the tree
|
| Singing of Christmas dreams
|
| That end in rhyme
|
| Dreams far from mine
|
| It never snows here in L. A
|
| And our family’s not that way
|
| Still I hold a hope inside me
|
| That brings me here today
|
| This is my gift to you
|
| Open it Christmas Day
|
| Maybe my only chance to say
|
| Something I never had the strength to say
|
| This is my gift to you
|
| Father I have one wish
|
| No endless Christmas list
|
| No fairy tales
|
| No verbal veils
|
| To hide behind on Christmas Day
|
| Certain words are hard to say
|
| Still I have the chance
|
| To open my heart another way
|
| I can open my heart another way |
