I was making my list I was checking it twice In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes For in my foolish heart There was one simple truth The only gift I wanted was you I was trimming the tree I was stringing the lights While the radio played Silent Night There were presents you sent Though there were quite a few The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles glow Please come home soon It's not the same without you As the bittersweet night Had come to an end I was saying goodbye To our family and friends And they all wished me well And I knew that I knew The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles glow Please come home soon It's not the same without you Deck the halls with boughs of holly (La la la la la la) The only gift I wanted was you You need to be home with me Alone with me Holding me next to the Christmas tree Kissing under the mistletoe As candles glow Please come home soon It's not the same without you I was making my list I was checking it twice In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes For in my wishful heart There was one simple truth The only gift I wanted was you
