Under the Mistletoe

Nick Torres

Snowflakes falling, soft as candlelight
Silver tinsel sparkles every memory tonight
There’s a record on the player, fire crackling warm and low
And I’m back to when I held you, underneath the mistletoe

City streets are shining, silver, red and green
Shopfronts full of wishes as Santa makes the scene
But all I ever wanted, then and even now
Was your hand inside my hand, winter blush upon your brow

Under the mistletoe, oh
oooh December feels brand new
Every carol in the air sounds like it’s singing me and you
Time can turn the snow to slush, and un-decorate the room
But my heart keeps coming back to you
Under the mistletoe oh
oooh

Midnight cocoa steaming, by the frosted window pane
Church bells in the distance, calling out Christmas day
Your laughter like a sleigh bell, dancing through the years
our soft little melody that I’ll always want to hear

We’ve seen a thousand snowfalls melt and softly slip away
But love’s a kind of evergreen that never quite turns gray
So if the years feel colder and the stars don’t shine as bright
Just meet me where we always do, on that old December night

Under the mistletoe, oh
oooh December feels brand new
Every carol in the air sounds like it’s singing me and you
Time can turn the snow to slush, and un-decorate the room
But my heart keeps coming back to you
Under the mistletoe, oh
oooh

So darling, if you find me humming a Christmas tune
We’ll be dancing, slow and dreamy
Under the mistletoe me and you
