Cocoa and Candy Canes

[Verse 1] Frost on the window, still dark as plum Little bare feet on the floor at five Nobody told me to wait for the sun Christmas is here and I'm wide awake alive [Pre-Chorus] Mama in her robe with a sleepy little smile Two red mugs steaming on the counter tile [Chorus] Cocoa and candy canes, sweet on my tongue Marshmallows melting till the morning's half-done Whipped cream mustache and a peppermint stripe Oh what a wonderful, wonderful night Cocoa and candy canes, la-la-la-la Best kind of morning by far [Verse 2] Papa's got the record spinning soft and low Firewood crackling, snow tapping the pane I stir with a candy cane, watch the swirl go Sugar on my fingers like a tiny sweet chain [Pre-Chorus] My brother stole the biggest one right off the tree But I don't even mind, save the last one for me [Chorus] Cocoa and candy canes, sweet on my tongue Marshmallows melting till the morning's half-done Whipped cream mustache and a peppermint stripe Oh what a wonderful, wonderful night Cocoa and candy canes, la-la-la-la Best kind of morning by far [Bridge] Someday I'll be tall with a coat and a key But I'll keep this cup close to me And when my own little ones come running in the cold I'll pour the same warm gold [Chorus] Cocoa and candy canes, sweet on my tongue Marshmallows melting till the morning's half-done Whipped cream mustache and a peppermint stripe Oh what a wonderful, wonderful night Cocoa and candy canes, la-la-la-la Best kind of morning by far [Outro] La-la-la-la, sweet on my tongue La-la-la-la, best kind of morning by far
