Thought it was the snow The way that it falls All is forgiven, it covers the tracks The mud and the mistakes made in the past Thought it was the cold The world frozen over And then again, it echoes for closure A pretty girl’s excuse to pull loved ones closer
But I I never know
There’s couples under the mistletoe kissing The sound of carolers In the streets singing And all of it’s beautiful But there’s something missing, it’s true The magic of Christmas was you
I thought it was the night (night, night) The anticipation (anticipation) Patiently waiting for deer to take flight Driving through the streets on a rainbow of light I thought it was the sounds (sounds, sounds) And it brought it all to light (light, light) Harken the perils and angels on high Silver sleigh bells in the silent light
But I I never know
“All I want for Christmas” playing in the kitchen Now the Santa wreath up And Andy Williams But all of the songs sound a little different, they do ‘Cause I’d always sing ’em with you
And when it’s my turn, I’ll tell the same for my children It’s more than just presents I’m wrapping in ribbon I’ll pass it down, it’ll become tradition, but new The magic of Christmas that I learned from you They’ll know the magic of Christmas too
