I fell in love last Christmas,

and it's been Christmas every day.

since her love shone upon me,

like a holiday display.

A kaleidoscope of lights,

in a bright marshmallow world,

twinkled deep inside me,

when her new love was unfurled.

Peace on earth and a babies birth,

is what we're praying for,

in these days of pestilence,

greed, disease, and war.

When she folds her arms around me,

cruelty fades away,

nothing on earth can harm me,

it's another Christmas Day.

Her tender love renews me,

and moves me to a place,

where lovers share true love,

with hope as they embrace.

Now I face the joy of living,

with a woman who unfolds,

her heart and soul around me,

to forever have and hold
