Lyrics When the winds get cold in December, your love's the flaming ember That's a fire that keeps us together when those chilly breezes blow As the nights get long and lonely, if you're not around to phone me Just to say, you love me only and you know I love you so. Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever Tie your ribbons of love all over me Be my present on my tree, stay with me. Tis not the cards or bells a-jingling or the shops where friends are mingling It's your love that keeps me tingling through those city's traffic jams All the parang, all the singing, all the cheer that friends are bringing Well it all adds up to nothing if you're not here in my arms. Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever Tie your ribbons of love all over me Be my present on my tree, stay with me. There is no Christmas without your love There is no Christmas without your love. See my eyes are flushed with feeling when I think that I'm believing How your love just keeps me reeling through this Christmas and New Year Let our love lights always glimmer, keep our love forever tender And wrap me all December in the ribbons or your care. Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever Tie your ribbons of love all over me Be my present on my tree, stay with me, stay with me Won't you stay with me? Baby, stay with me Come and stay with me, stay with me. Stay with me
