Here It Is Lyrics - Over The Rhine

I cried when I wrote this, I'll always remember 

The worst kind of lonely is alone in December 

The act of forgiveness is always a mystery 

The meltin' of ice and the future of history, yeah 

Some call it obsession, I call it commitment 

I make my confession, I make it in public 

I hope that it's helpful, that others can use it 

That it's more than my ego, my need to abuse it 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

And here it is 

The leaves on the oak tree hold on through the winter 

They're brown and they're brittle and they clatter together 

I can't seem to let go, I'm so scared of losin' 

The deeper the love goes, the deeper the bruisin', yeah 

The trouble with talkin' is it makes you sound clever 

And the trouble with waitin' is you'll just wait forever 

There's a loop of excuses that plays in your mind 

And makes the truth even harder to find 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

And here it is 

When they blow Gabriel's horn, rip fiction from fact 

I wanna get caught in some radical act 

Of love and redemption, the sound of warm laughter 

Some true conversation with a friend or my lover, yeah 

Somewhere down the road we'll lift up our glass 

And toast the moment and the moments past 

The heartbreak and laughter, the joy and the tears 

The scary, scary beauty of what's right here 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas, yes 

I'm wrappin' up my love this Christmas 

And here it is 

Oh, here it is 

Oh, oh, oh, here it is, yeah 

Oh, oh, here it is 

Here it is
