[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin
frost on the glass
A whisper of winter
stuck in the past
Used to dream quiet
used to dream small
'Cause boys like me
weren’t s’posed to dream
Of boys in love
Never
or at at all.

[Chorus]
But look at me now
come and see
I got a country boy
Next to my Christmas tree
Bare feet, blue jeans
arms 'round me tight
He’s the gift
I prayed for every cold night.
No ribbon, no tag, no make-believe —
Just him and me,
And a real love
beneath the tree.

[Pre-chorus]
Cause boys like me
weren’t s’posed to dream
Of boys in love
Never
or at all

[Verse 2]
Hung lights in silence
one strand at a time
A wish in the tinsel
a secret rhyme.
Wrote letters to Santa
I'd never send —
Caus I Just wanted a boy
Wrapped in presence
who’d stay 'til the end.

[Chorus]
But look at me now
come and see
I got a country boy
Next to my Christmas tree
Bare feet, blue jeans
arms 'round me tight
He’s the gift
I prayed for every cold night.
No ribbon, no tag, no make-believe —
Just him and me,
And a real love
beneath the tree.


[Pre-chorus]
Cause boys like me
weren’t s’posed to dream
Of boys in love
Never
or at all


[Verse 3]
He's married now
to the dream he became
And I ain't bitter
I’m callin’ his name.
We both broke the rules
we were raised to believe
Now he’s right here — and he ain’t gonna leave.

[Pre-chorus]
Cause boys like me
weren’t s’posed to dream
Of boys in love
Never
or at all

[Bridge]
Used to think
this kind of love was a sin,
Now it’s just Sunday
sleepin’ in.
He makes my coffee
I warm his feet —
The kind of peace
I thought I'd never meet.

[Chorus]
But look at me now
come and see
I got a country boy
Next to my Christmas tree
Bare feet, blue jeans
arms 'round me tight
He’s the gift
I prayed for every cold night.
No ribbon, no tag, no make-believe —
Just him and me,
And a real love
beneath the tree

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I got my country boy
Next to my Christmas tree
No shame, no fear — just him and me
Call it a miracle
call it relief
But love showed up
and gave me belief
So if you still doubt it
Just look at me
I got a country boy
Next to my Christmas tree

[Outro Spoken]

Cause boys like me
weren’t s’posed to dream
Of boys in love
Never
or at all
