If We Listen

You're not leaving here tonight
 All tucked in safe and tight
 Our fire still has a little bit of life
 Windows covered up with snow
 You hung some mistletoe
 I see that little glimmer in your eyes
 This is what I wait all year for
 Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
 Seems like the whole world goes on hold
 Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
 There are lessons to be learned
 There are lessons to be learned from Christmas
 If we listen
 Have we ever felt so happy
 Sitting with our family
 Singing carols just a bit off key
 Someone spiked the apple cider
 Cookies caught on fire
 I don't think there's anything as sweet
 This is what I wait all year for
 Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
 Seems like the whole world goes on hold
 Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
 There are lessons to be learned
 There are lessons to be learned from Christmas
 If we listen
 Something warm to drink
 Slippers on my feet
 I don't think our tree has ever looked better
 You're whispering to me
 Things I can't repeat
 You do something to me in that Rudolph sweater
 This is what I wait all year for
 Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
 Seems like the whole world goes on hold
 Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
 There are lessons to be learned
 In the messes and the blur, in the blessing and the best we bring at Christmas
 If we listen
