Christmas Song

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.
