Lyrics
The snow is falling gently
and the Christmas tree is shining
While I'm missing you immensely
I hope you'll soon be here beside me
But Christmas Eve is passing
before my eyes so blue
You're far away and I'm asking Santa
for a dream of you
(Chorus)
I wish you could be here for Christmas
We'd share a sleigh ride under the moon
I'm wrapping my love up for Christmas
to send it special delivery to you
(Bridge)
I'll keep the mistletoe
hanging until you get back to me
Maybe we'll share a kiss beneath it
in time for New Year's Eve
That would be my Christmas dream....
Sleep beckons me to my bed
where I'll hold my teddy bear in my arms
No sugar plums dancing in my head
Just the thought of you to keep me warm
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Bridge)
I wish you could be here for Christmas...
I wish you could be here for Christmas...
I wish you could be here for Christmas Eve....
