[00:12.570]Verse1
[00:16.290]The streetlights paint the snow in shades of gold
[00:20.040]Another story that the night has told
[00:22.860]They say" get to sleep, you gotta catch the cheer"
[00:27.000]ButI've been faking smiles this time of year
[00:31.320]I make a drink and lean against the door
[00:34.530]Not waiting for some reindeer on the roof anymore.
[00:37.920]Pre- Chorus
[00:38.190]'Cause kindness is a costume for the night
[00:41.790]It fades away in the morning light
[00:47.580]But you... your light is never dim...
[00:49.230]Chorus
[00:52.260]SoI'm not sleeping on Christmas Eve
[00:56.220]I finally wanna see, I finally wanna believe
[00:59.640]Who's the one who really stuffs my soul
[01:03.090]Who picks me up and makes me feel whole
[01:05.820]Itisn't magic, itisn't some old saint
[01:11.370]It's the one I overlook, the one I almostain't...
[01:14.760]Verse2
[01:23.910]Your old grey hoodie on the kitchen chair
[01:27.660]With a million lessons and a patch of wear
[01:31.200]You're quick to argue, slow to understand
[01:34.980]But the first to reach a helping hand
[01:38.760]You miss my messages,you're always late
[01:41.820]Butyou're the one who shows up at my gate, despite the hate.
[01:46.080]Pre- Chorus
[01:46.380]And when the tinsel falls and the tree comes down
[01:50.250]And the holiday clowns all leave this town
[01:55.140]You stay...you're constant andyou're real...
[01:58.800]Chorus
[01:59.760]SoI'm not sleeping on Christmas Eve
[02:03.450]I finally wanna see, I finally wanna believe
[02:07.140]Who's the one who really stuffs my soul
[02:10.590]Who picks me up and makes me feel whole
[02:13.350]Itisn't magic, itisn't some old saint
[02:18.870]It's the one I overlook, the one I almostain't...
[02:22.380]Bridge
[02:29.820]And I took your heart for granted,didn't I?
[02:33.300]Just a face in the background of my life
[02:37.020]The" always there," the" sure, I know"
[02:38.850]The deepest love Ididn't show...
[02:40.830]Was the gift I never had to buy
[02:43.020]The truth Icouldn't recognize...
[02:44.850]Tonight.
[02:54.180]Final Chorus
[03:07.320]SoI'm not sleeping, no, not tonight
[03:11.400]I'll see your love in the hallway light
[03:14.640]You're the one who really stuffs my soul
[03:17.850]You're the one who picks me up and makes me whole
[03:22.860]Itwasn't magic, it was always clear
[03:26.730]The one I took for granted all these years.
[03:29.640]Outro
[03:29.760]It was you...
[03:40.440]All my life, it was you...

Verse1
The streetlights paint the snow in shades of gold
Another story that the night has told
They say" get to sleep, you gotta catch the cheer"
ButI've been faking smiles this time of year
I make a drink and lean against the door
Not waiting for some reindeer on the roof anymore.
Pre- Chorus
'Cause kindness is a costume for the night
It fades away in the morning light
But you... your light is never dim...
Chorus
SoI'm not sleeping on Christmas Eve
I finally wanna see, I finally wanna believe
Who's the one who really stuffs my soul
Who picks me up and makes me feel whole
Itisn't magic, itisn't some old saint
It's the one I overlook, the one I almostain't...
Verse2
Your old grey hoodie on the kitchen chair
With a million lessons and a patch of wear
You're quick to argue, slow to understand
But the first to reach a helping hand
You miss my messages,you're always late
Butyou're the one who shows up at my gate, despite the hate.
Pre- Chorus
And when the tinsel falls and the tree comes down
And the holiday clowns all leave this town
You stay...you're constant andyou're real...
Chorus
SoI'm not sleeping on Christmas Eve

Who's the one who really stuffs my soul
Who picks me up and makes me feel whole

It's the one I overlook, the one I almostain't...
Bridge
And I took your heart for granted,didn't I?
Just a face in the background of my life
The" always there," the" sure, I know"
The deepest love Ididn't show...
Was the gift I never had to buy
The truth Icouldn't recognize...
Tonight.
Final Chorus
SoI'm not sleeping, no, not tonight
I'll see your love in the hallway light
You're the one who really stuffs my soul
You're the one who picks me up and makes me whole
Itwasn't magic, it was always clear
The one I took for granted all these years.

It was you...
All my life, it was you...
