Verse 1)
Snow on the sidewalks, red and green glow
Downtown is shining in fresh-fallen snow
Everyone’s racing for last-minute gifts
I’m walking slowly, replaying your kiss
Windows are glowing with tinsel and light
Carols are drifting through cold winter night
Crowded December feels quiet and new
Every bright sparkle looks better with you
(Pre-Chorus)
Every church bell ringing in the air
Every choir singing everywhere
Every star above me in the sky
Turns into your eyes
(Chorus)
You’re my favorite Christmas song
Playing in my heart all season long
Every wish I whisper keeps leading back to you
Underneath the mistletoe
In the soft December glow
I don’t need a thing wrapped up in ribbon or in gold
You’re my miracle of snow
My forever home
You’re my favorite Christmas song
(Verse 2)
Cocoa is steaming, the records spin slow
Your head on my shoulder, the fire burning low
Pictures of childhood still hang on the tree
Now every memory holds you next to me
Stockings and secrets, a handwritten note
Your name in silver in lines that I wrote
Angels and halos on top of the pine
Fade into nothing when your hand is in mine
(Pre-Chorus)
Every candy-cane and candlelight
Every quiet street on Christmas night
Every little echo of the past
Says this love will last
(Chorus)
You’re my favorite Christmas song
Playing in my heart all season long
Every wish I whisper keeps leading back to you
Underneath the mistletoe
In the soft December glow
I don’t need a thing wrapped up in ribbon or in gold
You’re my miracle of snow
My forever home
You’re my favorite Christmas song
(Bridge)
There were winters where the silence
Felt like miles of frozen roads
Empty chairs and lonely evenings
Watching shining lights alone
Then you walked in like a sunrise
On the coldest Christmas Eve
Now the choir inside my heartbeat
Never wants to leave
(Breakdown / Tag)
La-la, la-la, late December
You and me, this night to remember
Every light that’s shining from above
Spells out love, spells out love
(Chorus – final)
You’re my favorite Christmas song
Playing in my heart all season long
Every wish I whisper keeps leading back to you
Underneath the mistletoe
In the soft December glow
I don’t need a thing wrapped up in ribbon or in gold
You’re my miracle of snow
My forever home
Every year when nights grow long
You’re my evergreen, my dawn
You’re my favorite Christmas song
