The Only Thing That Glistens Lyrics

I've been staring at this walls
long enough to deck the halls
if Carolina sings the blues
I'll request a song from me to you
and tell you how to measure love
you'll tell me how to measure dust
you said don't mix the past and future up
it just blurs a line that never was
is it true?
i never thought I'd ever lose you
red and green turn black and blue
you're the only thing that ever glistened
this Christmas I'll be missing you
silent night no mistletoe
I'm kissin' on your Christmas ghost
if the season bring you back to me
i will make that wish on new years ever
cause you're that gift i never earned

but this state is known to have a curse
Nat King Cole i guess he never learned
chestnuts unattended always burn
they burn
is it true?
i never thought I'd ever lose you
when red and green turn black and blue
you're the only thing that ever glistened
this Christmas I'll be missing you
white blankets bright lights
starry eyed skies
won't you come home tonight?
it's true...
i never thought I'd ever lose you
red and green turn black and blue
you're the only thing that ever glistened
this Christmas I'll be missing you
