[Verse 1]
Darling, when it's cold outside
And I can see the snowflakes falling
I'm staring at the Christmas lights
And counting down to when you're calling
Got the gifts in the tree
Got the cards that I found
The ones you wrote me saying:
"Santa Claus is coming to town"
Got the holiday cheer
But there's just one thing that I want this year

[Chorus]
Don't need presents under the tree
Don't need snow and caroling
I don't need a lot of wishes
I just need you here this Christmas
Here this Christmas

[Verse 2]
Silver bells and mistletoe
Everywhere you look it's glistening
Say you're on your way back home
You're the only thing that's missing
When you walk through the door
And thе feeling is right
Here togethеr is what makes the season merry and bright
Full of holiday cheer
It's the one thing that I want this year

[Chorus]
Don't need presents under the tree
Don't need snow and caroling
I don't need a lot of wishes
I just need you here this Christmas

[Post-Chorus]
Here this Christmas
Here this Christmas

[Bridge]
Stories by fireside
The warmth in a loved one's eyes
I know it's time to make some memories
Now that you are here

[Chorus]
Don't need presents under the tree
Don't need snow and caroling
I don't need a lot of wishes
I'm just glad you're here this Christmas

[Post-Chorus]
Here this Christmas
Here this Christmas
