My Favorite Christmas Carol

Words and music by Michael Henson. (December 1993)

Sitting in a darkened room, alone, just you and I.
A swelling feeling in my heart; it's not surprising why.
Pillows piled in the corner welcome us to rest.
We sit beside a soft, dim light with your head on my chest.
Sipping sweet hot cocoa here together feels so warm.
We separate the world from us, it's just you in my arms.
Hold on to this moment, for it may not last long.
In perfect bliss, we listen to our favorite Christmas song.

Christmas day will soon be here
And we will be apart.
Thoughts of love mean thoughts of you
And I'll hold you in my heart.
The winter nights all feel so cold
And lonely without you.
Like my favorite Christmas Carol,
You're my Christmas wish come true.

You settled in beside me close in satin like your skin.
I have so many feelings now, don't know where to begin.
The loving sparkle in your eyes tells me you understand.
Without a spoken word, you reach for me and take my hand.
You seem to know just what I mean when words are not enough.
Chaos turns to certainty with just a gentle touch.
Even though you always know just what I want to say,
You'll never know the way I'll feel without you Christmas day.

Christmas day will soon be here
And we will be apart.
Thoughts of love mean thoughts of you
And I'll hold you in my heart.
The winter nights all feel so cold
And lonely without you.
Like my favorite Christmas Carol,
You're my Christmas wish come true.

I fade out from reality now as I hold you near.
For the first time in my life, the way I feel is clear.
Christmas is a time of love and it just won't seem right
That Christmas Eve so far away will be a silent night.
Never has there been a girl whom I have found so dear.
This love I feel at Christmas time -- for you it lasts all year.
The time is coming very soon to go our separate ways.
I'm gonna miss you then, my love. Think of me Christmas day.

Christmas day will soon be here
And we will be apart.
Thoughts of love mean thoughts of you
And I'll hold you in my heart.
The winter nights all feel so cold
And lonely without you.
Like my favorite Christmas Carol,
You're my Christmas wish come true.

The winter nights all feel so cold
And lonely without you.
Like my favorite Christmas Carol,
You're my Christmas wish come true.
