will melt

a way.

If I could make this plane

I’d be stand ing right

out side

your (Gsus)door.

(Am)I can close

my eyes

and see that

(C)sweet look

(G)of sur prise

there on

your face;

it’s worth

the wait.

(Gsus)Hang the (G)mis tle toe

by the (Am11)fire’s

glow,

put the (G)an gel on

the tree,

light a (Am11)can dle in

the win dow just

for (Dm11)me.

I’ll (G)bring you all

my heart

and soul,

my hugs

and (D)kiss
