Christmas Love

There hangs the old presence of Christmas cheer But the cloak of wintry air keeps me here. Let the others dance While we share romance. Stay close beside me, my love. Hear the joyous carolers faintly sing – How their brass bells carry far as they ring! The wind will soon blow In the overnight low. Stay close beside me, my love. All is well. How fierce the fire log crackles! Heat teases our toes and warms our ankles. The tree lights glitter. The candles flicker. Stay close beside me, my love. In love and comfort, my needs are fulfilled But the weather will do whatever it will. By your warm embrace You make my heart race. Stay close beside me, my love.
