COULD I BRING YOU HOME AT CHRISTMAS TIME?
Music: Dan Kolton Lyric: David Barrett
Love is fickle, the poets say
they wrote it down, in a dark cafe
But it’s a bit simpler here, in the USA
you must bring her home, on Christmas day…
———
(I’ve got a) question dear
and I fear
(it’s) long overdue
(COULD I) BRING YOU HOME, AT CHRISTMAS TIME? and meet the whole family too?
(they’re) in a whirl
to meet “the girl”
who made the poem rhyme
‘n stole my heart
right from the start
(COULD I) BRING YOU HOME AT CHRISTMAS TIME?
Uncle Lou will tell all the same stories
(YOU HAVE TO LISTEN!)
we pretend that they’re all brand new…(who knew?)
when dinner’s served
’n they bring the bird
we all sing Auld Lang Syne
we clink our glass
So may I ask
(COULD I) BRING YOU HOME AT CHRISTMAS TIME?
Mom’s particular about her pecan pie
(SAY YOU LOVE IT…)
’n make darn sure you say it’s the best.. (it’s a test…)
it’s been awhile
since I could smile
and dream of a love that’s mine
(so) forgive me this
a bit of bliss
some mistletoe
for one sweet kiss
(I’ll) repeat myself
for emphasis
I’M SO GLAD YOU CAME AT CHRISTMAS TIME
Merry Christmas, everyone!
