On this snowy white day full of hope and love,
I once sat on my couch
Waiting for that one special gift,
Under the bright green,
Filled with lights and decorations,
Christmas tree

I received that gift once,
Realized it was too heavy for my little hands
Returned it to Santa Claus
Told him: "My hands can't hold it yet, please return it to me when I grow up and get strong enough to carry it".

This once snowy white day has turned dark and gray.
I'm still sitting on my couch
Waiting for this special gift,
Longing to receive it again,
Under the now old and rotting
Filled with burned out lights and fallen ornaments,
Christmas tree
For my gift that I'm longing for,
Now knowing I'm ready to hold on and never let go

Until Christmas I will wait
