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 line While the radio played silent nights There were presents to send, 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 glow Please come home soon, it's not the same without you As a bittersweet night had come to an end I was saying goodbye to my 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 glow Please come home soon, it's not the same without you Deck the halls with boughs of holly La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Ooh, ooh 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 glow 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 For in my wishful heart, there was one simple truth The only gift I wanted was you
