That One Special Night

The fireplace is roaring with a warm hot fire With a light drift of snow covering the trees 29 degrees on this cold winter night So quiet listening to the cracking fire and snapping Not a thought was wondering through our minds So tranquil and peaceful ones heart desires With two glasses of wine placed upon the table By candlelight we sat With lights all aglow on the Christmas tree And sparkling tinsel reflecting in her eyes Wrapping presents and placing them under the tree This Christmas Eve is special to me For a year ago on this very night a stranger knocked at my door All covered in snow and wet to the bone, I opened the door It was you my love the love I have searched for Your car broken down with no cell phone I asked if you wanted a warm drink, your reply was priceless A warm drink I would like my Juliet but let me introduce myself My name is Romeo I would Wisk you off in my chariot but my horse is in need of a shoe May I just use your phone to call a tow truck? One year ago on this very night I met my Romeo (This is not based on a true story my name really isn’t Romeo)
