Silent room

Midnight glow

Now I know

I had a movie picked out

Socks on, lights down

Cup of cocoa getting cold

On a quiet Christmas couch

No big plans, no countdown

Just the TV talking low

I told myself, “It’s fine”

Like I didn’t hope you’d show

Then my phone lit up the dark

Your name drew a little spark

“Are you awake? Can I come by?”

I nearly dropped it when I typed

You came before Santa

Before the sleigh, before the snow

Before I even made a wish

You were knocking at my door

You came before Santa

With your cheeks red from the cold

And suddenly this lonely night

Had somewhere warm to go

Ho-ho-hold on

Is this really happening?

Oh-oh, come on

You’re my favorite kind of magic

You brought cake from the station store

Plastic forks and nothing more

Said, “I know this isn’t much”

But I was smiling way too much

We sat there on the living room floor

Bad movie playing, we ignored

Every scene and every line

Cause you kept laughing next to mine

You said, “I didn’t wanna be alone”

I said, “Me too,” soft and slow

Not a perfect Christmas scene

But it felt perfect to me

You came before Santa

Before the sleigh, before the snow

Before I even made a wish

You were knocking at my door

You came before Santa

With your cheeks red from the cold

And suddenly this lonely night

Had somewhere warm to go

No ribbons, no golden bells

No fancy plans, no wishing wells

Just your coat on my chair

And your smile everywhere

If every year could start like this

With a simple “Can I come in?”

I’d leave the porch light shining bright

Every single Christmas night

You came before Santa

Before the stars could read my mind

Before I knew what I was missing

You were sitting by my side

You came before Santa

And I think you should know

If I get one gift tonight

It’s this feeling I won’t let go

Ho-ho-hold on

Is this really happening?

Oh-oh, come on

You’re my favorite kind of magic

Silent room

Warm glow
