Takin' that old road up through the snow, warmed by the wood stove fireglow.
Our first Christmas together my darling. Tell me it's Christmas my darling.
How I really wished it would come true...
Now I get to spend it all with you.
Year after year we pined, miles away, dreaming of our first Christmas day star ever-gleaming.
Never will a Christmas time be blue, now I get to spend 'em all with you.
Night star so bright, night star so clear, blessings on this, our first year.
I don't need no silver or no gold, just to be with you until I'm grey and old.
Old songs by the tree sung in sweet harmony. My baby and me, this year won't you please tell me it's Christmas my love. Our first Christmas my love.
