Christmas presents
Its not about the presents, the money spent, the choice
its about the thought behind it, so listen to your inner voice
Will you buy her something sensible, or something with a cord
Will you shop within your budget, or spend more than you can afford
Or will you pay attention, to the commercials on TV
and think if she had one of those, how happy she would be
Well I hate to break this to you, because all of those are wrong
You cannot buy true happiness, ignore the jingle and the song
The truth is that she loves you, and wants you to love her back
and the perfect gift will show her, that you do exactly that
It may be something trivial, simple, without flash or flares
it may be something made by hand, but the hand of one with cares
For every coin you would have spent, use an hour of your time
and create something magical, not at the end of any line.
So from every Christmas on, a treasure she will find
beneath the tree on Christmas Day, and her heart to yours will bind.
