By the Fire Tonight

Snow is painting every street

Soft and slow outside our door

Laughter wraps around the room

Like it’s done a thousand times before

Candles glow, the table’s set

Stories pour like red wine

Every little bell reminds

This moment’s mine

By the fire tonight

Hearts are warm and time is kind

Every face I love is here

In this golden light

Let the world wait outside

Let the cold just pass us by

By the fire tonight

Everything feels right

Piano dances, bright and round

Silver bells in gentle time

Plates are full and smiles stay

Longer than the last reply

Bassline hums beneath the cheer

Like a promise, soft and deep

Every year it brings us back

To things we keep

By the fire tonight

Winter sings in red and gold

Every memory we make

Feels like it’s already old

In the best way, safe and slow

Where the love is always known

By the fire tonight

We are home

If tomorrow runs too fast

Let this feeling gently last

Hold it close, don’t ask why

Some gifts don’t come wrapped tight

Clink of glass… laughter low… bells below…

By the fire tonight

As the snow falls out of sight

All the years dissolve into

This familiar light

When the candles burn down slow

And the stars begin to shine

By the fire tonight

I’m thankful you’re mine
