Candy Canes & Daddy Dates

Songtekst

[Verse 1] There’s a velvet booth for two By a window edged in gold. The town looks made of gingerbread; Your hand is warm to hold. When the waiter brings the menu, You decide to read it through. I’m pretending to be choosing, But I’m busy watching you. [Pre-Chorus] You ask me what looks good tonight. I give you my best grin. “They say the sweets are quite a treat, But I know where I’d begin.” [Chorus] Candy canes and Daddy dates, Sweetest way to celebrate. He says, “Baby, take your pick.” I say, “Daddy, one more kiss.” Candy canes and Daddy dates, Chocolate hearts on little plates. Red and white, a candle’s light, Daddy, you’re my treat tonight. [Verse 2] You write “Dinner next December” On the back of the receipt. I say, “Daddy, that’s too long now. What about this time next week?” You cross out the whole suggestion, Put “Friday” in its place. Then you add, “Same time, same table?” I say, “Daddy, it’s a date.” [Bridge] We can stay another minute While the band repeats the tune. And you whisper, “Merry Christmas,” Like the words are just for two. [Final Chorus] Candy canes and Daddy dates, Sweetest way to celebrate. He says, “Baby, take your pick.” I say, “Daddy, one more kiss.” Candy canes and Daddy dates, Chocolate hearts on little plates. Red and white, a candle’s light, Daddy, you’re my treat tonight.
