The Only Gift Written by: Maria Christensen and Jeff Franzell I was making my list I was checking 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 hanging the lights While the radio played Silent Night There were presents sent Thought there were quite a few The only gift I wanted was you 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 bittersweet night Had come to an end I was saying good-bye to my family and friends And they all wished me well And I knew that I knew The only gift I wanted waa you CHORUS Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa la la la la, la la la la The only gift I wanted was you CHORUS I was making my list I was checking 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
