Winter can sometimes mean heartache Don't say it's easy for my sake After this year, all the months you've been through Let's not pretend it was 'easy' for you This type of cold is a slow burn Start in the dark, now it's your turn Breathe in the snow, let the ice settle in It all melts away once you learn to begin I've got a gift on this snowy night It's not a book or a doll or a kite And when the time's right, you'll know it's from me It's hard to believe, but on this Christmas Eve There's nowhere I'd rather be I know you're hurting, so don't lie And I'd never dream of saying goodbye You've been by my side every step of the way And I don't have much as a means to repay you But I've got a gift on this snowy night It's not a book or a doll or a kite And when the time's right, you'll know it's from me It's hard to believe, but on this Christmas Eve There's nowhere I'd rather be It's not quite a surprise But I just couldn't wait for you to realize You won't be alone, so hang up that phone Honey, open your eyes I've got a gift on this snowy night It's not a book or a doll or a kite And when the time's right, you'll know it's from me It's hard to believe, but on this Christmas Eve There's nowhere I'd rather be There's nowhere I'd rather be There's nowhere I'd rather be There's nowhere I'd rather be
