Perfect Gift
Natalie Hemby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never wish for Christmas snow
Red ribbons and velvet bows
Like ornament singing from the Tree
You're the perfect gift for me

Decorading with the bridest smile
Just like a present makes you feel like a child
You're everything I colud ever need
You're the perfect gift for me

Top of the list so I can't decide
Should I wrap you in my arms or keep you as a superise
I give you the world but to my concerne
All I have is a heart to love you in return

I hope that Santa is coming soon
With a present that look just like you
Told him our secert and he agrees
You're the perfecr gift for me

Top of the list so I can't decide
Should I wrap you in my arms or keep you as a superise
I give you the world but to my concerne
All I have is a heart to love you in return

I've been looking for some one to cheer
And celebrate the Holidays each year
Well I maybe dreaming but I do belive




You're the perfect gift for me
You're the perfect gift for me
