I walk down the street and see a wintery wonderland The candles in the windows and the salvation army band All the people wandering 'round in a sudden state of glee But all of those people, they ain't me I smell in the air pine needles fresh and new And everyone's cheeks have got a pleasant rosy hue They've got visions of the gifts that underneath their tree will lie But to that I say: not I For I've got a secret that no one else can know That keeps my temperament even during times of snow I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow It lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you Jolly old Saint Nick and the little elves as well as Charlie Brown All help at the holidays to keep folks from feeling down And people in their homes like to decorate their tree But I don't need none of that, no, not me Trolling the aisles at the local mega super store I see crazy flashing gadgets on every single floor But I don't need that fancy stuff, no way, no surrey 'Cause your love is so much better than a plasma screen TV I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you Now some might say it's unfair and severe That I get a Christmas gift each day of the year To them I would say that I've no guarantee But maybe one day they'll find someone as sweet as she I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do But everyday is Christmas Yes everyday I deck the halls Everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
