I Wish That I Could Be With You for Christmas Lyrics

I hope you see a gift from me

Underneath your Christmas tree

Wrapped in pretty paper and a bow

Even though we must be far apart

I send this gift with all my heart

And hope when you receive it you will know

I wish that I could be with you for Christmas

And we could lie next to the fire by the tree

But til I return my heart will yearn

For your tender kiss

And I'm left to dream of yule tide scenes

And our Christmases to be

I wish that I could be there now

As you hang the tinsel on each bough

And place the angel on the top with care

I had to go on one more tour

But I'll be home soon you can be sure

And I hope you'll think of me until I'm there

I wish that I could be with you for Christmas

And we could lie next to the fire by the tree

But til I return my heart will yearn

For your tender kiss

And I'm left to dream of yule tide scenes

And our Christmases to be

I see Christmas lights on every street

And hear snow crunch beneath my feet

And count the minutes til I'm home with you

I wrote a note to old St. Nick

Wishing I could get home quick

I hope he reads it and that he comes through

I wish that I could be with you for Christmas

And we could lie next to the fire by the tree

But til I return my heart will yearn

For your tender kiss

And I'm left to dream of yule tide scenes

And our Christmases to be
