Merry Christmas, Sweetheart

It's that wonderful time of year again;
That brings families close together.
And I feel so very close to you now;
Which makes it even better.

The only presents I ask from you;
Are very simple for you to give.
I want the love that's in your heart;
As long as we both shall live.

I also want your tenderness;
And the caring that you show.
And the wonderful smile you give to me;
That sets the room aglow.

It's very simple things I ask;
Things you give me all year through.
Just keep on giving me all of these;
For my heart belongs to you.

In turn, I give you all my love;
My very heart and soul.
Happy Holidays, Sweetheart;
All these gifts on you, I bestow!
