The city sleeps in shades of white
Underneath the paper stars and string lights
The world is rushing past our window pane
Chasing time and catching snowflakes in the lane
But here the fire is burning low and gold
I’ve got your hand to hold to keep away the cold
[Chorus]
So let the wrapping paper stay upon the floor
I don't need to wish for anything more
They can keep the diamonds and the winter shine
I’ve got the greatest treasure here in being yours and mine
Everything is perfect, plain to see
Darling, you’re the only gift I need
[Verse 2]
The smell of cinnamon and pine remains
While that old record spins the same refrain
We’re dancing slowly in the kitchen glow
Nowhere in particular we have to go
The clock is ticking but it feels like time stood still
The way that only Christmas magic ever will
[Chorus]
So let the wrapping paper stay upon the floor
I don't need to wish for anything more
They can keep the diamonds and the winter shine
I’ve got the greatest treasure here in being yours and mine
Everything is perfect, plain to see
Darling, you’re the only gift I need
[Bridge]
I used to look for wonder in the sky
Waiting for a sleigh to pass me by
But now the wonder’s looking back at me
Right here beneath the tree
[Guitar/Piano Solo - Slow and Melodic]
[Chorus]
Yeah, let the wrapping paper stay upon the floor
I don't need to wish for anything more
They can keep the diamonds and the winter shine
I’ve got the greatest treasure here in being yours and mine
Everything is perfect, plain to see
Darling, you’re the only gift I need
[Outro]
Just you and me
That’s all I need
Merry Christmas, love.
