You'll be leaving for the winter, but I won't see that it's true
It's the right thing for you, but it's tough to be moved
With the holiday spirt, when to tell you the truth
I had big plans for Christmas, and high hopes for you
Chorus:
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 living off your phone calls and your letters and your post cards
Every single word is like a secret wish come true
Who cares if were apart for the big days
since the small ones made me fall in love with you (fall in love with you)
Chorus:
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
