All I Want for Christmas Dear Is You
Travis Tritt · A Travis Tritt Christmas: Loving Time of the Year [Warner Bros] [1992]
Here it is Christmas day
And you're many miles away
And I wonder if you feel the way I do
In the air there's happiness
But in me there's loneliness
For all I want for Christmas dear, is you.
Presents wrapped in green and gold
Have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly, I love you
Oh, how happy I would be
To find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear, is you.
--- Instrumental ---
Presents wrapped in green and gold
Have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh, how happy I would be
To find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear, is you.
Yes darling, all I want for Christmas dear, is you...
