Because It’s Christmas
David Brown
Are the lights much brighter this year?
Or is it just my mood?
Christmas day is almost here
And thank God so are you
The table’s laid, the candles lit
Am I afraid? Just a little bit
Because you’re all that I really want
Because we’ve waited far too long
Because I’ve never wanted anyone this much
And because it’s Christmas
I’ve made a list and I’ve checked it twice
As I double-check the clock
The Champagne is on ice
Just waiting for your knock
The tree’s aglow and my heart pounds
I hope the snow don’t slow you down
Looking good says my reflection
It’s good to see you happy
I feel like a Christmas confection
Just waiting for you to unwrap me
Now it’s eight and you’re overdue
As I stand beneath mistletoe
Will my wishes all come true?
When we kiss my heart will know
The food’s gourmet, the music’s on
It’s Mel Tormé: The Christmas Song
