Under the Christmas Lights

🎸 Acoustic guitar riff + light jingle bells

“Mm-mm, yeah, yeah… it’s Christmas time…”

Snow is falling, it’s that time again,

We’re wrapping up the year, my friend,

Got a playlist full of Christmas songs,

But I’ve been waiting for you all along.

(Soft percussion enters halfway through verse)

Every time the fire glows,

All I see is your face, I know,

This season don’t mean a thing,

If you’re not here with me.

[Chorus] (Full band in)

’Cause I don’t need no gifts tonight,

Just your hands wrapped up in mine,

You and me, baby, feels so right,

Under the Christmas lights.

Forget the snow, forget the cold,

Your love’s the warmth I wanna hold,

You’re my favorite sight,

Under the Christmas lights.

(🎶 Add harmonies on “Under the Christmas lights”)

Laughing while the cookies bake,

Dancing in the mess we make,

You look good in my sweater too,

There’s no one I’d rather give my heart to.

All I want for Christmas, see,

Is just you right here with me,

No sleigh, no fancy things,

You’re my everything.

[Chorus] (Add sleigh bells & higher harmony)

’Cause I don’t need no gifts tonight,

Just your hands wrapped up in mine,

You and me, baby, feels so right,

Under the Christmas lights.

Forget the snow, forget the cold,

Your love’s the warmth I wanna hold,

You’re my favorite sight,

Under the Christmas lights.

The stars above can’t outshine you,

Every wish I make comes true,

I don’t care what’s under the tree,

You’re the only present I need.

(🎵 Soft background “oohs” for atmosphere)

’Cause I don’t need no gifts tonight,

Just your hands wrapped up in mine,

You and me, baby, feels so right,

Under the Christmas lights.

So let the snow keep falling down,

Long as you’re still around,

You’re my heart, my light, my life,

Under the Christmas lights.

(🎶 Final ad-lib idea: “Yeah, yeah… under the Christmas lights…”)

🎸 Guitar strum, light bells fade, vocals hum final line softly:

“Under the Christmas lights…”
