The Tree Still Waits
Modern country vibes
Lyrics
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!!")
