Oh, the winter nights are long But the days go by so slow So I have just one question Where did November go? Oh, no I'm running down the high street Going door to door I'm sure that there was something You liked in here before I'm begging to each shop keep To help this stupid man Who had eleven months but still Didn't make a plan You see I am forgetful I don't mean nothing by I've checked in every gift shop But nothing's caught my eye I might just write a letter To jolly old saint nick Dear santa, can you help me To find a present quick? The greatest gift You can give to me Is something special for my baby Cause if I could I would give them my heart But if we're being practical I don't know where to start The greatest gift You can give to me Is something to make my darling happy Cause all I need Is to see them smile So when this is all over It will all be worthwhile Maybe the next aisle! I'm still here stuck on main street Going shop to shop I'm sure that it was in here But now it's out of stock I saw a pretty trinket All fancy and bespoke But if I were to buy it Then I'd be completely broke You know I'm not a rich man Can't buy you gold or pearls If only I knew how then I swear I'd give you the world This holiday might break me I'm just a nervous wreck Dear santa, can you help me Maybe just write a check? The greatest gift You can give to me Is something special for my honey Cause if I could I would give them my heart But if we're being practical I don't know where to start The greatest gift You can give to me Is something to make my darling happy Cause all I need Is to see them smile So when this is all over It will all be worthwhile Why's this such a trial? The greatest gift I can give to you Is a promise that I will always be true Cause if I could I would give you my heart But if we're being practical I don't know where to start The greatest gift You can give to me Is to always be here to make me happy Cause all I need Is to see you smile And every time I'm with you You make my life worthwhile
