i would like to wrap a ribbon around you

(neatly done, of course),

and put you under my tree

as a reminder of how much you mean to me.

whenever things start to get difficult

(whenever i think it's too hard),

i'll simply untie that ribbon

and see your face.

instantly i will remember why i am still here

(because you're always so good to me),

and i'll wrap you back up

and write down again what you mean to me.
