lyrics

Frosty leaves, holly wreaths
Cold bright winter sun
Fading rays, shorter days
Evening soon will come
My breath fogs up the windowpane
Like a child I wait for you
Staring out into the night
Wish you'd come into view

Thoughts of you will warm me
Although you're nowhere near
But you are always on my mind
Any time of year
Tinsel, chocolate, gifts and bows
All make the season sweet
But if you are right here next to me
My Christmas is complete

Toasty fires, gleaming spires
Trees all dressed in white
Winter's here, the end of the year
That's how it should be tonight
But it's not cold enough for snow
The rain just doesn't stop
Dreaming of a white Christmas
Don't hold out much hope

Thoughts of you will warm me
Although you're nowhere near
But you are always on my mind
Any time of year
Tinsel, chocolate, gifts and bows
All make the season sweet
But if you are right here next to me
My Christmas is complete

Choirs sing, church bells ring
Love is all around
But there's one thing missing from
This happy festive scene
It won't be right until you're here
Your arms wrapped around me

Thoughts of you will warm me
Cos I know you'll soon be here
But you are always on my mind
Any time of year
Tinsel, chocolate, gifts and bows
All make the season sweet
But if you are right here next to me
My Christmas is complete

about

Bex and Freda England, UK

Bex writes quirky random songs about (amongst other things) life, love, cider and idiots, and plays them on some ukuleles (one named Freda) and sometimes a piano, accompanied by Jim on cajon and other percussion.
