(Verse 1)
Snow on the pavement, lights in the trees
Carols drifting on a midnight breeze
Old photographs in worn-out frames
Every year somehow feels the same
But something’s different in the air tonight
Like the world slowed down just to get it right
All the years we rushed straight through
Led us here, led me to you
(Pre-Chorus)
Every wish I left behind
Is standing here in real time
(Chorus)
This is the Christmas of a lifetime
Every laugh, every spark
All the love we were chasing
Is finally in our arms
No more wishing, no rewinding
This moment’s ours to keep
If every Christmas felt like this
It’d be the Christmas of a lifetime
(Verse 2)
Mismatched ornaments, candlelight
Stories we tell every year, every time
Same old jokes, same songs we sing
But they hit different this winter thing
There were years we barely made it through
Empty chairs, broken plans, missing you
Now we’re here, still standing strong
Proof that we were never wrong
(Pre-Chorus)
Every road that led us here
Was worth the miles and tears
(Chorus)
This is the Christmas of a lifetime
Every laugh, every spark
All the love we were chasing
Is finally in our arms
No more wishing, no rewinding
This moment’s ours to keep
If every Christmas felt like this
It’d be the Christmas of a lifetime
(Bridge)
If time could freeze, I’d let it stay
Right here in this warm embrace
No perfect gifts, no grand design
Just hearts at home, right on time
(Break)
Oh—
Hold this close
Oh—
Don’t let go
(Final Chorus)
This is the Christmas of a lifetime
Every light shining bright
All the dreams we kept believing
Came alive here tonight
If tomorrow takes its time
And the snow begins to fade
I’ll remember how this felt
On the Christmas of a lifetime
(Outro)
Years from now when candles burn
And memories take their turn
I’ll still feel it, clear and true,
The Christmas of a lifetime
With you
