Lyrics
Verse 1 A Bm A Bm E
When the blizzard blew away I was stranded there
With your invitation locked in my heart.
The tyre's gone, was late and two miles away
Slipped the UGG boots on, got trekking to your place.
Verse 2
As I slowly trudged along an old narrow lane
I heard the sound of Christmas Carols from a home
folks were gathered round to sing round the Christmas Tree
Now I'm humbling this old tune along the way
Chorus 1 A E A E E7 A
I won't wish for mistletoe, the warm scent of gingerbread
roast chestnut , brandy snaps, all I want is you
(Verse melody) A Bm A Bm E A
(humming along)
Chorus 2
I don't ask for candle lights, bright silver bells, poinsettia,
gold tinsel or Christmas card, all I want is you
Verse 3
Now here I am with you and all is well
I never thought I'd make it to your door
but I made a wish tonight upon a shiny star
and it's comforting to know that wish came true.
Chorus 1
so I won't wish for mistletoe, the warm scent of gingerbread
roast chestnut, brandy snap , all I want is you
Chorus 2 (with outro ) A E A E E7 A ( F#m E A ) A , E7sus, A, E7sus, A, E7sus
I don't ask for candle lights, bright silver bells, poinsettias,
gold tinsel or Christmas card-
All I want is you- This Christmas,
All I need is you - Merry Christmas,
All I want is you.
