The Only Gift That I Need

You'll be leavin' for the winter

but I'll concede that it's true

It's the right thing for you

but it's tough to be moved with the holiday spirit

And 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

The only gift that I need



I'll be living off your phone calls and your letters and your postcards

Every single word is like a secret wish come true

Well, who cares if we're apart for the big days

It's the small ones that made me 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

The only gift that I need



The only gift that I need (repeat)
