TO YOU

If i could do whatever i want to do,
To make complete your gladsome Christmas Day,
I would not bring a single thing to you,
But i would come and take some things away.


I'd take away all trouble from your heart;
All pain and sorrow i would have relieved;
And every word that caused a single smart,
And every hour through which you sadly grieved.


I'd have them all be gone-forever gone-
Forgotten like the things that cannot be,
And then each hour would be a joyful one,
For only good things would be left,you'll see.

Now that is what i'd really like to do,
If i could do the things i wish for you.
