You brushed the snow off my coat; don’t you think I didn’t notice
You took that sparkle in your eye and faced up to make it seem it came from watching the sky
And sure there was a shooting star, streaming through the stillness on a winter night
But darling it wouldn’t be magic
If you weren’t here
I have wished for a night like this to be right like this and in time for Christmas
Who could feel this swept away on a dry summer day when you don’t get shivers
You took my hand as we walked; mittens and all I still felt your touch
I saw you looking down as you spoke, as though this could be a joke, the moon and you and I
And sure if we’re playing a game then it wouldn’t be the same without some strategy time
But even when we said that we should turn in – we didn’t
I have wished for a night like this to be right like this and in time for Christmas
Who could feel this swept away on a dry summer day when you don’t get shivers
Here in the dark, in the crisp, cool crystalline warmth of your reach, of your breath, of the air so clear
We could walk all around, anywhere, I don’t care, just don’t stop walking with me
Walk with me
With every moment that passes, I’m close to relaxing within your hold
You heard me, just a sweet embrace and I’ll close this case, all the cards I’ll fold
Dear, I am dreaming, waiting for angels’ interceding as we stop and smile
Making my dreams come true may just be part of your style
I have wished for a night like this to be right like this and in time for Christmas
Who could feel this swept away on a dry summer day when you don’t get shivers
Here in the dark, in the crisp, cool crystalline warmth of your reach, of your breath, of the air so clear
We could walk all around, anywhere, I don’t care, just don’t stop walking with me
Don’t stop walking with me
Don’t stop walking with me
It feels so good to shiver
