lyrics

I've never seen a white Christmas
They don't have those where I'm from
Sometimes the snow peaks through the palm trees
But that's as close as I've come

And though it's colder here in DC
Everything's just dead and gray
But for some reason I found you here
And for that reason here I'll stay

I don't need no stocking stuffers
I don't need no Christmas tree
I don't need no snowflakes falling
As long as I've got you right here next to me

I press my face against the window
The glass is cold against my cheek
On the lawn the grass is yellow
Dry leaves line the frozen creek

The salted road is wide and empty
The city's full of lonely souls
But I don't need a white Christmas
Because I know you'll soon be home

I don't need no stocking stuffers
I don't need no Christmas tree
I don't need no snowflakes falling
As long as I've got you right here next to me
