I Couldn't Wait (To Say I Love You)

by Hugh Trimble

/

about

Many of us haven't been able to spend as much time as we'd like to with loved ones and family this 2020 holiday season. This can make a hard year feel harder, but it's also an opportunity to celebrate the connections we do have. How wonderful to love and be loved enough to miss each other! Misty Dawn Foster (www.mistydawnmusic.com) and Hugh Trimble wrote this little tune because sometimes you just can't WAIT to say "I love you." Merry Christmas and happy holidays, dear friends!

lyrics

City snow, stopped to make an angel
With a halo of pocket change and lingonberries
On home for coco and a glass of sherry cream
Glitter bows, twinkle lights are tangled
But I know I’ll have them up in time for supper
They glow as if they’re having such a lovely dream

I pick up the phone
I call you at home
And when I hear you say hello
I’m suddenly eight years old

I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you
Where you are there is a star rising above you
This Christmas Eve I’ll fall asleep just thinking of you
But I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you

Eggnog sipping by the window drawing
On the fog, my cheeks are turning rosy wondering
Where you are, I saved a couple wishes for you
Fire pops, I’m writing letters to you in those
Fuzzy socks you made when you noticed
The holes in my toes, how could I forget the warmth

Angel on the tree
Smiling at me
Saying pray for peace on earth
Suddenly I’m filled with mirth

I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you
Where you are there is a star rising above you
This Christmas Eve I’ll fall asleep just thinking of you
But I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you

I wish you were here
I wish I was there
But I’m glad you are at all
Oh it’s a wonderful world

I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you
Where you are there is a star rising above you
This Christmas Eve I’ll fall asleep just thinking of you
But I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to say I love you
