You're the burning ember of this bitter cold December You're a little flicker in the dark Fills me with desire Starts a little fire in my heart You're love is bound to hinder The deep freeze of this winter So I'm inclined to say just let it snow You will come to meet me Somewhere underneath the mistletoe Hurry swiftly to my door I can't wait here anymore I just want to hold you close to me If there's bound to be a storm I know I'll be safe and warm On this Christmas Eve with you Sleigh bells will be ringing My heart will be singing A little tune that I wrote just for you Something sweet and tender Something you'll remember when it's June So Merry Christmas baby I'm glad you're gonna save me From another lonesome holiday You'll be here beside me Melting all the loneliness away Hurry swiftly to my door I can't wait here anymore I just want to hold you close to me If there's bound to be a storm I know I'll be safe and warm On this Christmas Eve with you
