Whole world outside covered in ice Under the tree wrapped-up surprise Puts a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, can't tell you why I just get sentimental The kids are upstairs trying to sleep Their hearts must be full of too many dreams And when I see how they believe it really does something to me I just get sentimental Call me romantic and hopeless But everything's right in this moment The hardest of hearts even notice There's love in the air this time of year Nowhere to be, nowhere to go Just you and me, no place like home Carols and bells, twinkling lights, it's a wonderful life I just get sentimental Can't help but be sentimental Whole world outside covered in ice But it's warm in here, isn't it nice? Maybe it's me, what can I say? December finds me this way I just get sentimental Can't help but be sentimental
