All I Can Give You

Boxes and bows full of ribbons and clothes,

set up neatly beneath the tree

With a tag on each one saying Santa has come,

but where are the ones from me?

Oh, how I wanted the lights in your eyes to be mine

I wanted the look on your face

All I can give is this Christmas song to you

I just hope that you'll sing it

Wherever your heart skips a beat when you're thinking of me

And if the greetings this season will bring leave you searching for meaning

you will look to the words I have written and you'll be set free

You have to know that I can't let you down

It's you and me vs the rest of this town

And when the lights go out I'll still be around to put a bow on some sounds

That's all I can give you this Christmas

And I know that to you it's just jewelry and shoes

But to me, they're the smile on your face

Cause baby you've been the glue and the nails and screws

that have managed to keep me in place

So I wanted a gift for my lady in white

but all I could bring you tonight...

All I can give is this Christmas song to you

I just hope that you'll sing it

Whenever your heart skips a beat while you're thinking of me

And if the greetings this season will bring leave you searching for meaning

You will look the words I have written

and you'll be set free

You have to know that I can't let you down

It's you and me vs the rest of this town

And when the lights go out I'll still be around to put a bow on some sounds

(but that's all I can give you...)

And I'm hoping that a melody will let you know

that I'm waiting for a Christmas kiss with mistletoe

Cause baby that's all I can give is this Christmas song to you

I just hope that you'll sing it

Whenever your heart skips a beat when you're thinking of me

And the greeting this season will bring leave you searching for meaning

You'll look to the words I have written and you'll be set free

You have to know that I can't let you down

It's you and me vs the rest of this town

And when the lights go out

I'll still be around to put a bow on some sounds

But that's all I can give you this Christmas
