i celebrate the day- x-mas lyrics

And with this Christmas wish is missed,
the point i could convey.
If only i could find the words to say
to let you know how much you've touched my life
because,
here is where you're finding me
in the exact same place as New Year's Eve
and from a lack of my persistency,
we're less than half as close as i wanna be.

chorus:
the first time
that you opened your eyes
did you realize
that you would be my saviour?
and the first breath
that left your lips
did you know that it
would change this world forever?
(repeat)

And so this Christmas i'll compare
the things i've felt in prior years
to what this midnight made so clear
that you have come to meet me here.

to look back
and think that
this baby would one day save me
and the hope that,
that you give,
that you were born so i might really live.
to look back
and think that
this baby would one day save me

Chorus 2x

and i..
i celebrate the day
that you were born to die
so i might one day
pray for you to save my life
pray for you to save my life
pray..for you...to save my life...
