What I Really Want for Christmas (Doesn’t Come From a Store)

What I Really Want for Christmas (Doesn’t Come From a Store) Verse 1 I’ve seen the windows dressed in glitter, red and gold, Heard the same old rush of “buy it” getting told, But the best thing on my list can’t be shipped to my door, What I really want for Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Pre-Chorus No barcode on a blessing, no receipt for relief, Just a little bit of magic and a whole lot of belief. Chorus I want the kind of peace that stays past New Year’s Day, A table full of laughter where the worries melt away, I want the time we keep forgetting, and the love we can’t ignore— ’Cause what I really want for Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Verse 2 I want old songs in the kitchen, somebody off-key, Kids asleep in the living room, lights on the tree, A phone call from a friend saying, “Hey, I’m doing alright,” And a home that feels like heaven when we walk in at night. Pre-Chorus I don’t need the latest thing, or a price-tagged dream, Just the people that I miss and a moment that feels clean. Chorus I want the kind of peace that stays past New Year’s Day, A table full of laughter where the worries melt away, I want the time we keep forgetting, and the love we can’t ignore— ’Cause what I really want for Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Bridge Let the snow fall or don’t, let the world spin fast, Let the lights blink on and on like memories that last, If I could ask for one thing, it’d be simple at the core: Hold me close, stay a while… that’s what Christmas is for. Final Chorus Give me the kind of peace that stays past New Year’s Day, A table full of laughter where the worries melt away, Give me the ones I’ve been praying for, right here like never before— Yeah, what I really want for Christmas… doesn’t come from a store. Outro No, what I really want for Christmas… doesn’t come from a store.
