Just back from South Dakota
And my skin is covered in bed bug
But it was nice playing Christmas songs
Out there then flying back home to my love
It's nice not having to go to airports anymore this December
I'm now living my summer long dream
This dream of winter
Wintertime is melancholic and sometimes gets me overthinking
Especially this one cause I'm a month away from being fifty
And Oh, how the time has flown
And Oh, how the trees have grown
And how nice it is to be back home
I hope this days pass slowly
Oh, how this new bedding you got me fells so cozy
Oh, how the cold makes your cheeks so rosy
Oh, how my belly's gotten doughy
Got nothing on my schedule so far next year
And that's the first in a long time, as far as I can remember
Just looked out the window
And in the yard there's a big old deer
Ain't nothing like the scenery
And the smell of the nature out here
And the chimney is pumping smoke up
Into the chilly sky,
And the downtown Christmas decorations makes me wanna cry
When your young takes forever for Christmas to come around
Then when you're older
It comes around the corner, faster than a greyhound
I hope December passes slowly
In this moment, I feel so lucky
To be with you putting lights on the Christmas tree
And the old hardwood floor shine like honey
And Segovia playing Bach is magic in the living room
And my dad is 83 years old
And I'm gonna see him soon
In this moment yeah, I feel so lucky
To have a girl in my life
Who's so nice to me and so pretty
If I die tomorrow upon me take no pity
Got a beautiful house in the country
And a nice apartment in the city
I've been everywhere from China to Iowa City
Oh, in this moment I couldn't feel more at ease
And your cat, she's so snuggly and fluffy
But when you went to work this morning her and I slept in until 3:30
Then she woke me up when she jumped out of the bed
And her feet hit the floor
And I'm more grateful for this Christmas that's approaching
Than any Christmas ever before
