I'm Christmasing With You
Patti LaBelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's go far away
To a very special place lovers hide away
Somewhere in a quiet spot for the holiday
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you
In our little paradise a cabin just for two
Let me show how much I care
And kiss you all night through
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you
Way up in the mountains we will build a fire
As the North wind blows a snowy storm
As our tree lights glisten I hope your heart will listen
To the words I love you, darling how I love you
In the Northern twilight sky on a star so bright
I make one small simple wish to kiss your lips goodnight
Let me take you in my arms and hold you oh so tight
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you
You are here next to me, slowly you awake
Watching you, my poor heart feels so good it aches
We will both celebrate with the love we make
I can't believe I'm Christmasing with you
