My Gift To You Lyrics

Uncle flew in today

Grandma is on her way

A stocking stuffed

For each of us

Dizzy from the falling snow

Shying from the mistletoe



Gathered around the tree

Singing of Christmas dreams

That end in rhyme

Dreams far from mine

It never snows here in L.A.

And our family's not that way

Still I hold a hope inside me

That brings me here today



This is my gift to you

Open it Christmas Day

Maybe my only chance to say

Something I never had the strength to say

This is my gift to you



Father I have one wish

No endless Christmas list

No fairy tales

No verbal veils

To hide behind on Christmas Day

Certain words are hard to say

Still I have the chance

To open my heart another way



I can open my heart another way
