You'll be leavin' for the winter,
But I can see that it's true it's the right thing for you.
But it's tough to be moved with the holiday spirit,
But 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.
Only gift that I need.

I'll be livin' off your phone calls, in your letter, and your postcards.
Every single word is like a secret wish come true.
But who cares if we're apart for the big days
Since the small ones that made me fall in love with you (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.
Only gift that I need.

Only gift that I need.
Only gift that I need.
