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
