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
