Lyrics

The sound of bells is ringing out somewhere
And lips are filled with words we never dare to say
I’m cozy in the frosty winter air, mmm
Oh god, why in the world did I go and fall in love?

Maybe it’s all of these songs
That tell of saints and holy nights
Maybe it’s the sight of the town lit up
In gaudy Christmas lights

All the times I only wish that I was there with you
And the emptiness I feel when I am not with you
Are the signs all trying to make me see
The way that I feel about you
Well I, had that one figured out alone
I didn’t need the signs
But I know making a wish to Santa Claus
Won’t ever make you mine

If I could then I would wish that you were here with me
And that you would stay forever, never leaving me
And that I was always running through your mind
The way you always are for me
But I don’t want to make a fool of myself
By admitting that to you
So I’ll try to express it all in words short and simple
And just say I love you

I see the couples walking hand in hand
Their heads adorned with silly reindeers antlers
Their whimsy on display for the world to see, mmm
But don’t think for a minute I’m jealous - no, not me

Oh, I wonder what would be
The perfect gift to make you smile
Something that no one else could give to you
A gift from deep inside

When I open up and tell you that I love you, dear
Even if your answer isn’t what I hope to hear
I won’t think any less of you
Nothing could ever make me change the way I feel
You know, I have never been much inclined to wish upon a star
But tonight I find myself looking to the sky and praying
That you’ll give me your heart, oh

Ever since the day we met
There’s so many things I have to thank you for
You showed me so many different sides of me
That I had never known before

Every single day I wish that I could be with you
And I want to let you know I only think of you
That I’m always looking for your face
Among the crowds of people passing through
And I wonder who you’re sharing
Your bright smile with on days just like today
And the thought of you with someone else
Fills up my heart with pain

できれば横にいて欲しくて
dekireba soba ni ite hoshikute
どこにも行って欲しくなくて
doko ni mo itte hoshiku nakute
僕の事だけをずっと考えていて欲しい
boku no koto dake wo zutto kangaete ite hoshii
やっぱりこんな事伝えたら格好悪いし
yappari konna koto tsutaetara kakkou warui shi
長くなるだけだからまとめるよ
nagaku naru dake dakara matomeru yo
君が好きだ
kimi ga suki da

And I’ll keep on telling you
Won’t give up ‘til you hear me
Saying that I love you
