Merry Christmas, Sweetheart
with you is where I want to be
Yet it seems our lives are complicated
for I am the one not free,

Yet the very best present
is the gift of one’s self
I have given you a part of me
that has never belonged to anyone else.

So we can’t be together this Christmas
yet our souls are not apart
for I have given you the best part of me
I have given you my heart.
