| Boxes and bows full of ribbons and clothes
|
| Set up neatly beneath the tree
|
| With a tag on each one saying Santa has come
|
| But where are the ones from me?
|
| Oh, how I wanted the lights in your eyes to be mine
|
| I wanted the look on your face
|
| All I can give is this Christmas song to you
|
| I just hope that you’ll sing it
|
| Wherever your heart skips a beat when you’re thinking of me
|
| And if the greetings this season will bring leave you searching for meaning
|
| You will look to the words I have written and you’ll be set free
|
| You have to know that I can’t let you down
|
| It’s you and me vs the rest of this town
|
| And when the lights go out I’ll still be around to put a bow on some sounds
|
| That’s all I can give you this Christmas
|
| And I know that to you it’s just jewelry and shoes
|
| But to me, they’re the smile on your face
|
| Cause baby you’ve been the glue and the nails and screws
|
| That have managed to keep me in place
|
| So I wanted a gift for my lady in white
|
| But all I could bring you tonight…
|
| All I can give is this Christmas song to you
|
| I just hope that you’ll sing it
|
| Whenever your heart skips a beat while you’re thinking of me
|
| And if the greetings this season will bring leave you searching for meaning
|
| You will look the words I have written
|
| And you’ll be set free
|
| You have to know that I can’t let you down
|
| It’s you and me vs the rest of this town
|
| And when the lights go out I’ll still be around to put a bow on some sounds
|
| (but that’s all I can give you…)
|
| And I’m hoping that a melody will let you know
|
| That I’m waiting for a Christmas kiss with mistletoe
|
| Cause baby that’s all I can give is this Christmas song to you
|
| I just hope that you’ll sing it
|
| Whenever your heart skips a beat when you’re thinking of me
|
| And the greeting this season will bring leave you searching for meaning
|
| You’ll look to the words I have written and you’ll be set free
|
| You have to know that I can’t let you down
|
| It’s you and me vs the rest of this town
|
| And when the lights go out
|
| I’ll still be around to put a bow on some sounds
|
| But that’s all I can give you this Christmas |
