Lost in the lights of lanterns and Christmas trees
are the carefree nine-year-old eyes in me.
Bet you didn’t know
how you brought them back.
When all the yuletide carols were meaningless,
I am grateful for the music I found in your grace.
There’s a song in your hair
as you walked past by.
And I can’t count the ways
your cheeks have made my day like candy canes.
And I can’t count the ways
your eyes can rival fireworks by the bay.
And I can’t count the ways…
et cetera, et cetera.
And I can’t count the ways,
will you teach me?
But I guess I’ll never learn anything.
I was told not to walk in the holiday wind
for there’s always room
to be left in the cold.
But you are that holiday wind, you see.
I persist, amidst the goosebumps and chills it brings.
Lady, you just don’t
happen all year long.
And I can’t count the ways
your cheeks can make my day like candy canes.
And I can’t count the ways
your eyes can rival fireworks by the bay.
And I can’t count the ways…
et cetera, et cetera.
And I can’t count the ways,
will you teach me?
But I guess I’ll never learn anything.
I was told not to walk in the holiday wind
for there’s always room
to be left in the cold.
But you are that holiday wind, you see.
I persist, amidst the goosebumps and chills it brings.
Lady, you just don’t
happen all year long.
And I feel good when I’m holding your hand.
There’s a certain warmth, though my knees freeze.
And I feel good when I’m holding your hand.
There’s a certain warmth, though my knees freeze.
And I feel good when I’m holding your hand.
There’s a certain warmth, though my knees freeze.
And I feel good when I’m holding your hand.
There’s a certain warmth, though my knees freeze.
And I can’t count the ways
your cheeks have made my day like candy canes.
And I can’t count the ways
your eyes can rival fireworks by the bay.
And I can’t count the ways…
et cetera, et cetera.
And I can’t count the ways,
will you teach me?
