How Do I Wrap My Heart Up For Christmas lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silver bells are ringing, carolers are singing
Snowflakes drifting through the air
Everybody's shopping, got no time for stopping
It looks like Christmas is here

[Chorus]
So tell me
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift
I'm givin'
Your lovin' arms will have to do

[Verse 2]
At first I though of giving you a pretty diamond ring
Wore myself out shopping for a million other things
Finally decided on something you can't buy
But how will I disguise it so you will be surprised?

[Chorus]
So tell me
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift
I'm givin'
Your lovin' arms will have to do
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
A gift of love was given to the world so long ago
Laying in a manger he was wrapped in swaddlin' clothes
And every year we celebrate and thank the Lord above
And give to one another our little gifts of love

[Chorus]
So tell me
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift
I'm givin'
Your lovin' arms will have to do
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift
I'm givin'
Your lovin' arms will have to do
