[Verse 1]
Sleigh bells are ringing
Choirs keep singing
And I still hope that you are coming home
Tears as the snow falls
Long distance phone calls
This season no one wants to be alone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's just not the same without you there, my dear
With you by my side it's my favorite time of year
[Chorus 1]
I don't need no stars or tinsel hanging on the Christmas tree
I don't care 'bout building snowmen
I just want you here with me
They can keep the bows and presents
If I can keep you on my list
It's Christmas, and you're my favorite kind of gift
[Verse 2]
I'm writing this letter
To make me feel better
These pictures in my head are not enough
Words don't come easy
And outside it's freezing
But you were always there to warm me up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's just not the same without you there, my dear
With you by my side it's my favorite time of year
[Chorus 2]
I don't need no stars or tinsel hanging on the Christmas tree
I don't care 'bout building snowmen
I just want you here with me
They can keep the bows and presents
If I can keep you on my list
It's Christmas, and you're my favorite kind of gift
[Chorus 3]
I don't need no stars or tinsel hanging on the Christmas tree
I don't care 'bout building snowmen
I just want you here with me
They can keep the bows and presents
If I can keep you on my list
It's Christmas
[Chorus 4]
Oh I don't need no stars or tinsel hanging on the Christmas tree
I don't care 'bout building snowmen
I just want you here with me
They can keep the bows and presents
If I can keep you on my list
It's Christmas and you're my favorite kind of gift
