[Verse 1]
You've got pine sap stuck beneath your ring.....
Won't come off no matter what we try
The garland's in a mess across the floor.....
But you just laugh, and hell, so do I

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody ever sees this part.....
The mess we make before it starts

[Chorus]
The tree still waits!!!
For that picture-perfect night
But I want this—
Your tired smile.....!! your messy hair!!
The kitchen smoke.....!
The bow that won't behave
The tree can wait.....!!
"This is the holiday!!"

[Verse 2]
There's flour on the counter from round two.....
Your sister's calling, let it ring on through.....
Third batch of cookies turning black
You're humming carols way off track

[Pre-Chorus]
Tomorrow we can play it picture-perfect right.....
But right now, you're all I need tonight!!!!


[Chorus]
The tree still waits!!!
For that picture-perfect night
But I want this...!
Your tired smile..... !! your messy hair....!!
The kitchen smoke.....!
The bow that won't behave
The tree can wait.....!!
"This is the holiday!!"


[Bridge]
They tell you Christmas needs to look just right.....
Cookie-cutter house and twinkle lights
But standing here with sugar in your hair.....
Girl, you're all the magic everywhere.....


[Final Chorus]
The tree still waits!!!
Tomorrow's far away....!
But you right here.....
Is everything tonight!!!
Just you and me.....
No perfect pose, no smile
The tree can wait.....
"You make it all worthwhile"
("Worthwhile")

[Outro]
It's never too late....
The tree still waits.....
And so will I.....
So will I....
Tonight!

[Chorus]
The tree still waits!!!
For that picture-perfect night
But I want this—
Your tired smile.....!! your messy hair!!
The kitchen smoke.....!
The bow that won't behave
The tree can wait.....!!
"This is the holiday!!"
("This is the holiday!!")
