Space On The Couch For Two

written by: Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics

It’s been a long year
So much has happened that we both wish hadn’t
When the snow falls, be it real or faux,
all the past will disappear with all the problems
Leave your baggage by the door

I’m so tired of all this rain
I can’t wait to feel like home again

And all that snow, mistletoe
Come on and kiss me baby, let’s fly away
on Christmas Day, won’t you stay?
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello

You’re always saying you left the city but you didn’t leave me
Baby, I was fine to stay behind
I could lie and say I don’t mind, forget it now, it’s peace on Earth somehow
We’ll fight again on Boxing Day

I’m so tired of all this rain
I can’t wait to feel like home again

And all that snow, mistletoe
Come on and kiss me baby, let’s fly away
on Christmas Day, won’t you stay?
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello

In the sparkle of every Christmas light
I see your smile tonight
and I know I’ll hold you soon
I’m just whistling Christmas tunes, and wrapping things for you
I won’t clean the house, but I’ll clean the space on the couch for two

And all that snow, mistletoe
Come on and kiss me baby, let’s fly away
on Christmas Day, won’t you stay?
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello

And all that snow, mistletoe
Come on and kiss me baby, let’s fly away
on Christmas Day, won’t you stay?
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello

Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello
Let’s turn all those goodbyes into hello
