SIX FIGURES
I SPEND MY TIME DREAMING
I spend my time dreaming,
Of that one perfect Christmas,
When we were together
Walking the landscape
White the snow was falling
And
a large fluffy snowflake
Settled
on your nose
And
we shared our first kiss
CHRISTMAS IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR LOVE
Christmas is a special time
And I want to spend it,
With the woman I love
The most perfect lover
For a perfect Christmas
Who fits me like a glove
ALL GATHERED TOGETHER
All gathered together
In one special place,
At this special time
Puts
a smile on my face
I STEP THROUGH THE DOOR
I step through the door
Adorned with a wreath
In the corner stands a tree,
With presents beneath
A welcoming hearth
Where
logs burn vigorously
But
the greatest warmth
Comes
from my family
THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS IS THE GOAL
The perfect Christmas, is the goal
And
love and laughter pay dividends
But
perfection can only be achieved
I BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS ANGELS
I believe in Christmas Angels
And I believe they are always near
Just
like they were at Bethlehem
Appearing
upon a midnight clear
THE CHRISTMAS ANGELS
The Christmas Angels
Are
here to watch over us
To
ensure that we all
