I wanted to hold you and keep you with me, this year

You're my darling and I want you near

I wanted to whisper sweet words of comfort in your ear

No more sorrow and no more fear.

Oh, my love

When will we know

If we can meet under the mistletoe?

And I'm writing this song about christmas in april this year

So I'm not sure what to think about that

And I'm hoping these words don't ring so hollow when you hear

You say "merry christmas" and "happy new year".

Fits and starts, upset apple carts

Conspiring to keep us apart.

I wanted to hold you and keep you with me, this year

You're my darling and I want you near

I'm hoping these words don't ring so hollow when you hear

You say "merry christmas" and "happy new year"

And maybe all the winds blow away all our fears

Said "merry christmas" and "happy new year".
