The Reason For The Season
It's nearly midnight Christmas eve
And everyone's asleep but me
Along with the angel on the tree
And my memories
Then a picture on the mantel caught my eye
A pretty girl and a young G.I. Christmas '45
Love was born in war when times were bad
But they gave each other all they had
My mom and dad
The gift of an open heart
A song from this old guitar
Knowing how long they've been here
That was enough
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
She held an old brown teddybear
He won for her at the county fair
It was a perfect bear
Love endures when love is true
It give to her last breath they drew
Just like a tear
The gift of an open heart
The cool of the cozy heart
Would show you how love can build beyond
That same love
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
Love, if only love
Could last through the season
Love, and only love
For some selfish reason
The gift of an open heart
The cool of the cozy heart
Would show you how love can build beyond
That same love
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
The reason for the season
Is love
And everyone's asleep but me
Along with the angel on the tree
And my memories
Then a picture on the mantel caught my eye
A pretty girl and a young G.I. Christmas '45
Love was born in war when times were bad
But they gave each other all they had
My mom and dad
The gift of an open heart
A song from this old guitar
Knowing how long they've been here
That was enough
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
She held an old brown teddybear
He won for her at the county fair
It was a perfect bear
Love endures when love is true
It give to her last breath they drew
Just like a tear
The gift of an open heart
The cool of the cozy heart
Would show you how love can build beyond
That same love
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
Love, if only love
Could last through the season
Love, and only love
For some selfish reason
The gift of an open heart
The cool of the cozy heart
Would show you how love can build beyond
That same love
It's not the presents that we bring
They are the least important things
The reason for the season
Is love
The reason for the season
Is love
