Underneath the Mistletoe

[Verse 1 - He] The parlor lights are burning low and gold, The clock's forgotten how to make me cold. You laugh and let your teacup rattle down, And oh, I'm the luckiest fool in town. [Verse 2 - She] I fixed my hair a dozen times tonight, Kept counting snowflakes just to hide my fright. You caught me looking, so I looked away— But something in the air won't let me stray. [Pre-Chorus - Both] There's a little green sprig hanging over the door, And neither of us knows what we're waiting for... [Chorus - Both] Underneath the mistletoe, Two shy hearts and no place to go. Lean a little, blush a little slow, Let the whole December never know. Underneath the mistletoe. [Verse 3 - He] Your fingers found the buttons of my coat, And every word got tangled in my throat. [She] I've dreamed this since the first of falling snow— Now don't you dare, don't dare to let me go. [Bridge - Both] So here we are, the fire near to embers dim, The carol on the radio grown soft and slim. It only took one sprig to make me brave, And in your eyes I found the Christmas I'd been saving. [Final Chorus - Both] Underneath the mistletoe, No more shy, and nowhere left to go. Closer now, oh how the candles glow— And with a kiss the whole town seems to know. Underneath the mistletoe. [Outro - Both] [whispered] Merry Christmas, darling... don't let go... Underneath the mistletoe.
