I saw the snow settle
Like a fresh wind can bring
Hopes of a better year
And silence spreads as I watch all the kids
Who are waiting for their wishes to come true
But I look at happiness with a startled eye
And the heartache rose
'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished
That a lovely misfortune might hit you
And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings
Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place
I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you
Spend my time burning what's left of your candle
A perfect Christmas for me
The perfect Christmas for me
I've always been told I've got quite a temper
And that time always acts like the best bandage
But we both know I'm not very patient
I might've poured mulled wine over all your flowerbeds
But I look at happiness with a startled eye
And the heartache rose
'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished
That a lovely misfortune might hit you
And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings
Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place
I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you
Spend my time burning what's left of your candle
A perfect Christmas for me
The perfect Christmas for me
A perfect Christmas for me
A perfect Christmas for me
