   C               F              G             C
I walk down the street and see a wintery wonderland
     Am             F               C
The candles in the windows and the salvation army
 G
band
         C                 F          G
All the people wandering 'round in a sudden
           C
state of glee
    Am            F        C         G
But all of those people, they ain't me.

I smell in the air pine needles fresh and new
And everyone's cheeks have got a pleasant rosy hue
They've got visions of the gifts that
underneath their tree will lie
But to that I say, "Not I."

    F          G           Am               G 
For I've got a secret that no one else can know
      C                    Dm7  Em7             F
That keeps my temperament even during times of snow

Chorus:
      C                                F
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped
         G
up in a bow
    C                              F       G
It lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
       Em7                        C            F
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
    E7             Am7           F   G    C
But every day is Christmas when I'm with you

Jolly old Saint Nick and the little
elves as well as Charlie Brown
All help at the holidays to keep folks
from feeling down
And people in their homes love to
decorate their tree
But I don't need none of that, no, not me

Trolling the aisles at the local mega super store
I see crazy flashing gadgets on every single floor
But I don't need that fancy stuff, no way,
no surrey
Cause your love is so much better
than a plasma screen TV

Chorus:
I've got the perfect present,
one not wrapped up in a bow
She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you

Now some might say it's unfair and severe
That I get a Christmas gift each day of the year
To them I would say that I've no guarantee
But maybe one day they'll find
someone as sweet as she

Chorus:
I've got the perfect present,
one not wrapped up in a bow
She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
But everyday is Christmas
Yes everyday I deck the halls
Everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
