Hugz 'N Pawz

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dad’s coat by the door, pine resin sweet
Snow damp on the cuffs where the sidewalks meet
Little spark of sap, wool, and cold
That’s how my nose says joy is close

[Pre-Chorus]
You see lights, I read air
Every scent says we’re almost there

[Chorus]
I’ve got a nose for Noel, I know it well
Home writes stories only I can tell
Warm room, slow glow, hearts at ease
Christmas is the way the air feels free

[Verse 2]
Oven whispers turkey and ham
Torture of the turkey, yes I am
Rules say leave it, I guard the door
Breathing dinner like a choir in four

[Pre-Chorus]
Steam and spices drift to me
I sit, I stay, I wait and see

[Chorus]
I’ve got a nose for Noel, I know it well
Home writes stories only I can tell
Warm room, slow glow, hearts at ease
Christmas is the way the air feels free

[Verse 3]
Boxes down from the attic dust
Tape and paper, cinnamon crust
Old wreath waking, tinsel bright
Cardboard has a memory light

[Bridge]
Outside, snow smells clean and thin
Cold like mint on my breathing in
Then back to the couch where the scents agree
Cocoa, shampoo, socks, and peace

[Chorus]
I’ve got a nose for Noel, I know it well
Best smell isn’t food, it’s family
All of us together in one room
That’s Christmas--love in bloom
