I was makin my list. I was checkin it twice. In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes. For in my foolish heart there was one simple truth. The only gift I wanted was you. I was trimming the tree. I was stringing the lights. While the radio played "Silent Night". There were presents you sent. Though there were quite a few. The only gift I wanted was you. (Chorus:). You need to be home with me. Alone with me. Holding me next to the Christmas tree. Kissing under the mistletoe. As candles glow. Please come home soon. It's not the same without you. As the bitter-sweet night had come to an end. I was saying goodbye to our family and friends. And they all wished me well. And I knew that I knew. The only gift I wanted was you. (Chorus). Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa la la la la la la. Ohhhhh Ohhhhh. The only gift I wanted was you. (Chorus). I was makin my list. I was checkin it twice. In the middle of this I got tears in my eyes. For in my wishful heart there was one simple truth. The only gift I wanted was you. For in my wishful heart there was one simple truth. The only gift I wanted was you
