My Greatest Wish (Verse 1) The winter air is setting in on Montreal tonight The city streets are glowing under silver holiday lights The snow beneath our boots is glistening like a thousand fallen stars A touch of winter magic stealing softly into our hearts My nose is getting cold, but my hand is locked in yours Gliding on the frozen ice, ignoring winter's roars We spin around together, just like the lovers in the crowd Holding you so close to me, I want to scream it out loud (Chorus) 'Cause my greatest wish, my only dream this year Is just to live this winter season with you right here To feel the frost upon our cheeks but fire in our chest Of all the places in the world, with you is where I'm blessed Yeah, Christmas time is coming, and the world is painted white But you’re my greatest wish tonight (Verse 2) Our feet are freezing through, so we head back inside To the comfort of our little room where the winter cannot hide A cup of hot cocoa, a warm bowl of broth to chase away the chill Wrapped up in our woolen sweaters as the world outside stands still We fall asleep tangled up, heavy eyelids start to close Safe within your gentle arms, the sweetest peace I've ever known (Chorus) 'Cause my greatest wish, my only dream this year Is just to live this winter season with you right here To feel the frost upon our cheeks but fire in our chest Of all the places in the world, with you is where I'm blessed Yeah, Christmas time is coming, and the world is painted white But you’re my greatest wish tonight (Bridge) The morning sun breaks through the curtain line I wake up soft and see you sleeping, looking so divine I whisper to the sky, thanking heaven you are mine Then I drift right back to sleep, losing track of time But then I hear you whispering too, thanking heaven for my grace You run your fingers through my hair in our quiet hiding place You look at me so peacefully and ask me with a smile "Do you want a little coffee, my love, or breakfast in a while?" I laugh and say, "I've got a better plan, let’s make it side by side" (Guitar / Piano Solo - Upbeat and playful) (Verse 3) You pour the coffee anyway and bring it to the bed Kissing me so deeply, stealing every thought inside my head Then we cook together, laughing loud into the day Before we put our coats back on and head back out to play Sliding down the snowy hills, walking past the neighbors' doors Looking at the decorations, wanting nothing more The winter wind can blow, but we don't care about the storm Hand in hand with you, the coldest day feels summer warm (Outro) Sweeter than the July sun, hotter than the summer heat Just walking through the Montreal snow, making our lives complete
