Strum
D-DU-UDU
Winter  snow is falling  down
Children  laughing all  around
 Lights are turning on
 Like a fairy  tale come true.
Sitting  by the fire  we made
You're  the answer when  I prayed
 I would find  someone
 And baby  I found you.
 And all I want  is to hold  you forever
 All I need  is you more  every day
You  saved my heart
 From being broken  apart
 You gave your love  away
 And I'm thankful every  day for the gift.
 (Repeat Intro)
Watching  as you softly  sleep
What  I'd give if  I could  keep
 Just this moment
 If only  time stood still.
But  the colors  fade away
 And the years will make  us grey
 But baby in my eyes
 You'll still  be beautiful.
 And all I want  is to hold  you forever
 All I need  is you more  every day
You  saved my heart
 From being broken apart
 You gave your love  away
 And I'm thankful every  day for the gift.
