Christmas Smile

Verse 1
Festive lights hung on the tree
Pine scent in the air
Slammed door with forgotten key
Tears hidden by her hair

Holiday songs help me cope
But doesn't change my mood
All these words of love and hope
Remind me of you

Chorus
This year Santa don't bring me a thing
No boxes wrapped with ribbon or tied with string
From that big old bag of yours
Take my stocking and give it to her
My friend my love my true desire
My gift this year is her Christmas smile

Verse 2
Snowball fights and mistletoe kisses
Nog by a warming fire
Holiday cookies with candied pieces
A distant caroling choir

Streets aglow with twinkle lights
At this special time of year
For me a cold sleepless night
When you're not lying here


Chorus
This year Santa don't bring me a thing
No boxes wrapped with ribbon or tied with string
From that big old bag of yours
Take my stocking and give it to her
My friend my love my true desire
My gift this year is her Christmas smile

Bridge
Life gets in the way
Love can make you nuts
Everyday words said out of spite

Sorry and wrong can't say enough
But the fun of fighting is making up
Peace and joy in the season of lights

Chorus
This year Santa don't bring me a thing
No boxes wrapped with ribbon or tied with string
From that big old bag of yours
Take my stocking and give it to her
My friend my love my true desire
My gift this year is her Christmas smile
My gift this year is just her Christmas smile
