Christmas Brought Me You

Hanging lights on the front door It's my favorite time of year Pull a wreath out of cardboard It says "Everyone is welcome here" Grandma's frosting the cookies She waves at neighbors as they pass She laughs as I sing Jingle Bells Out of a marshmallow mustache My little daughter came running up, and sat on my knee She said, "Dad, I got a question for you" I said, "What's on your mind?" She said, "I am not sure if Christmas dreams come true" Thought about it for a minute Turned up Tony Bennett, said, "Love, I think I know that they do" She was asking me how As I twirled her around, I said, "Christmas brought me you" And there is snow in the forecast We're staying in, so that's alright Watch the flakes start to come down Across the road, under the streetlight And I think about Heaven How it must be just like this With everybody you love And everybody you miss My little daughter came running up, and sat on my knee She said, "Dad, I got a question for you" I said, "What's on your mind?" She said, "I am not sure if Christmas dreams come true" Thought about it for a minute Turned up Tony Bennett, said, "Love, I think I know that they do" She was asking me how As I twirled her around, I said, "Christmas brought me you" My daughter comes running up, she's smiling at me She says, "Dad, I gotta tell you something" Then tears fill her eyes As she tells me, "Surprise!" and shows me her wedding ring Think about it for a minute Turned up Tony Bennett, said, "Love, I told you it was all true" And she knows I am proud As I twirl her around the lights in the living room
