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 (bye, bye, bye)
To my 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
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la
Oh, 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

For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you…
