I wanted to write you a love song
I wanted to tell you everything in my heart
I wanted to write you a love song
To sing sweetly of the feelings I feel
I wanted to pull down the stars from the sky
String them around evergreens
I wanted to place the moon there on top
In the twinkling lights I would tell you
In the sparkle of night I would say
How the thought of you brightens my spirits
How my heart beats in time to your own
How the thought of you leaves me breathless
My spirit is never alone
I wanted to write you a love song
To tell you all that I feel
That the world is more tender
More beautifully rendered
The colors more vivid
Everything sweeter, my darling
The world is a more wonderful place to be
Because you are here
Because you are here
I wanted to write you a love song
A gift to put under the tree
Unwrapped with the sound
Of the drums and the bells
Unlocked with the keys
Of minor harmonies
And a melody carefully fretted
I wanted to write you a love song
To tell you all that I feel
A gift that I give with my heart and my mind
A gift that I sing with my soul
These are the words that will cover
The thoughts and heart that are lying beneath
Like the snow covers over the grass and the clover
Until spring comes along to release
So I write you a love song in winter
I write you a love song under the tree
My heart hums a love song in the twinkling lights
My soul is a love song to you
My soul is a love song crafted for you
Wrapped and waiting under the tree
