Scarves of wool and pumpkin pie
are always paired with pleasant times,
but this year they remind me of
what will be so tough.
I only ask of you one thing:
hold me close until January.
I'll be cold when you let me go
but I've gotta go.
Trace your doorway with mistletoe,
I'll hide with you from the hiding snow.
I'll be with you for the holidays
but I know right now that I'll want to stay.
I'm afraid that you might heal,
that eight long months could break the deal.
So I try to think that you might
think of me every night.
I'll keep a jar of your cologne,
when I smell it i won't feel alone.
I can't bear to let you go
but I've gotta go.
Trace your doorway with mistletoe,
I'll hide with you from the hiding snow.
I'll be with you for the holidays
but I know right now that I'll want to stay.
