Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Cuddle up around the Christmas tree
Nowhere else but here I wanna be
Sparkle brighter than the neighbors' lights
Forget about the fighting for one night
[Pre-Chorus]
No one should be alone tonight
And I see Christmas in your eyes
So won't you give yourself to me?
Forget those boxes 'neath the tree
[Chorus]
I like presents, yes, indeed
But you're the only thing I need
Call it selfish, call it greed
All of you for all of me
[Verse 2]
'Round this time, I always think of peace
Wish that that was something we could reach
'Cause I know this year was hard on you
So baby, let's turn in and turn off the news
[Pre-Chorus]
No one should be alone tonight
And I see Christmas in your eyes
So won't you give yourself to me?
Forget those boxes 'neath the tree
[Chorus]
I like presents, yes, indeed
But you're the only thing I need
Call it selfish, call it greed
All of you for all of me
[Outro]
All of you for all of me
All of you for all of me
All of you for all of me
All of you for all of me
