lyrics

The summer shine's gone
but something's left behind
I've waited all year long
for your warm heart to find

Like times before
I haven't seen you for a year and then
you're knocking at my door
Now it's that time of year for sure

I'm catching wind of a magical air
See the lights in all your eyes and then I'm there
It seemed so close and yet it felt so far away
and here we are
and I am asking you to stay

When I see smiles
twinkling so bright
that they could light the sky
I think I'll stay awhile

So put a star
on top the tree for me
then we'll hop in the car
and find some Christmas lights to see

The snow blows colder
and I'm a year older too
but every time it comes
with the beating of the drums
Love and light in every way
Our hearts are warm on Christmas day

River deep, mountain high. ... more
