Ab                Eb
You'll be leaving for the winter
Cm             C#            Ab
But I look and see that it's true
         Eb              Cm
It's the right thing for you
         C#          Ab             Eb      Cm
But it's tough to be moved with the holiday spirit
       C#           Ab           Eb            Cm
And to tell you the truth, I had big plans for Christmas
         C#
And high hopes for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Ab Cm      C#      Eb
I want you here by my side
Ab   Cm         C#        Eb
Cold nights and fires and white wine
Ab  Cm        C#  Eb      Ab
And dreams of holidays to come
    Cm            C#                     Eb
But I'll wait for spring to bring you to me
                     Ab
The only gift that I need

[Verse 2]
 
Ab             Eb
I'll be living off you phone calls
Cm              C#
In your letters and your postcards
Ab           Eb             Cm               C#
Every single word is like a secret wish come true
Ab  Eb             Cm            C#
Who cares if we're apart for the big days?
         Ab              Eb      Cm      C#
It's the small ones that made me fall in love with
Bbm     Cm        C#
Fall in love with you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Ab Cm      C#      Eb
I want you here by my side
Ab   Cm         C#        Eb
Cold nights and fires and white wine
Ab  Cm        C#  Eb      Ab
And dreams of holidays to come
    Cm            C#                     Eb
But I'll wait for spring to bring you to me
                     Ab  Eb Cm
The only gift that I need
 
     C#          Ab  Eb Cm
Only gift that I need
     C#          Ab  Eb Cm
Only gift that I need
     C#          Ab  Eb Cm
Only gift that I need
     C#          Ab  Eb Cm C# Eb Ab
Only gift that I need
