You'll be leavin' for the winter,
But I can see that it's true it's the right thing for you
But it's tough to be moved with the holiday spirit,
But to tell you the truth I had big plans for Christmas
And high hopes for you

I want you here by my side
Cold nights, and fires, and white wine
And dreams of holidays to come
But I'll wait for spring to bring you to me
Only gift that I need

I'll be livin' off your phone calls, in your letters, and your postcards
Every single word is like a secret wish come true
But who cares if we're apart for the big days
Since the small ones that made me fall in love with you (fall in love with you)

I want you here by my side
Cold nights, and fires, and white wine
And dreams of holidays to come
But I'll wait for spring to bring you to me
Only gift that I need

Only gift that I need
Only gift that I need
Only gift that I need
