Snow on the window, lights on the tree
The world slows down when you’re here with me
Cold hands in my pocket, your laugh in the air
Every little moment feels like a prayer
The fireplace crackles, the carols play low
But the warmest thing here is the way you glow
(Pre-Chorus)
Outside it’s winter, but inside it’s June
Every heartbeat is singing this tune
(Chorus)
When December holds you close, the whole year makes sense
Every scar, every mile, every almost and hence
Leads me here to your arms underneath mistletoe skies
You’re the gift I still can’t believe is mine
Oh, my love, my love
This is Christmas every time you smile
(Verse 2)
We don’t need presents wrapped up in bows
The best thing I unwrapped was the way that you know
Every corner of me, every secret I keep
You kiss them like blessings and put them to sleep
(Pre-Chorus)
Let the snow keep on falling, let the cold stay outside
I’ve got forever right here in your eyes
(Chorus)
When December holds you close, the whole year makes sense
Every scar, every mile, every almost and hence
Leads me here to your arms underneath mistletoe skies
You’re the gift I still can’t believe is mine
Oh, my love, my love
This is Christmas every time you smile
(Bridge)
Years from now when the kids ask why
We still dance in the kitchen on Christmas night
I’ll tell them the truth, simple and true
“Because your mom/dad still feels like brand-new”
(Final Chorus – softer, then soaring)
When December holds you close, time itself stands still
Every promise I made, darling, I’m keeping them still
Through every white winter and every green spring that flies
You’re the once-in-a-lifetime under these lights
Oh, my love, my love
You’re my Christmas
My always
My tonight
(Outro – gentle, like falling snow)
So let the bells ring, let the angels sing
I’ve got all of heaven in the circle of your arms
Merry Christmas, my love
Merry Christmas, my heart
This song belongs to you now.
