The Only Gift That I Need

You'll be leaving for the winter
But I look and see that it's true
It's the right thing for you
But it's tough to be moved with the holiday spirit
And to tell you the truth, I had big plans for Christmas
And high hopes for you

I want you here by my side
Cold nights and fires and white wine
And dreams of holidays to come
But I'll wait for spring to bring you to me
The only gift that I need

I'll be living off you phone calls
In your letters and your postcards
Every single word is like a secret wish come true
Who cares if we're apart for the big days?
It's the small ones that made me fall in love with you

And I want you here by my side
Cold night and fires and white wine
And dreams of holidays to come
But I'll wait til spring to bring you to me
The only gift that I need

Only gift that I need
Only gift that I need
Only gift that I need
