Christmas Perfection Lyrics

VERSE 1

Drive through a small town
Traced with lights
On our way to put the perfect tree within our sights

Country roadscapes
Painted with ice
Seems Jack Frost has already been here twice

Standing at the base
Of, "Yes it could be,
or maybe not," our new Christmas tree

Indecision causes my
Husband and Daughter
To appoint me, "Scrooge of the Family"

CHORUS

Christmas Perfection
Where are You right now?

Just show me You'll help me
Somehow

VERSE 2

Crowds of Holiday,
Christmas Eve
My daughter’s perfect gift I seek

The last one
Leaves the shelf
In the hands of the mother in front of me

So back to the house
With the next-best thing Forgot to preheat the oven it seems

Arriving early,
Dependably,
Extended family fighting over the smallest things

CHORUS 2

Christmas Perfection
Where are You tonight?

I’m lost. Where can we
Reunite?

VERSE 3

Racing down the stairs in her faded red pajamas
Hoping that He’d come

Checks the glass of milk, and the plate of cookies
Empty, and not a crumb

Pulling at the ribbon, tearing at the wrap
It wasn’t what she thought

I saw it in her face
I knew it was the wrong thing Santa brought

And then it snowed.

Let it snow!

CHORUS 3

Our spellbound December
Began to appear

And Christmas Perfection
Was here
