Exquisitely for you in this time of life trial
When headlines go global, seems the pain magnifies,
When the lawyers and accountants and advisors are in denial
There’s a writer who understands the sorrow in your eyes

It’s over, they say, when seems it’d barely begun
Separation at the holidays wasn’t on your wish list,
For sure, you can purchase a roomful of presents
But the most material woman still wants to be kissed

Beneath the mistletoe, you prefer it tender and slow
Do the fanatics know Cardi’s a romantic at heart?
The hard-edged lyrics spun by the stage persona
They belie the island angel who simply plays the part

Strong woman of color, let me match your strength
I’ll chop the timber wood to feed your dormant fire,
I want to listen to you, I just may elicit in you
A holiday intimacy destined to take us higher

Higher than the altitude of St. Nick’s sleigh
Come gaze out the northward window with me,
Mesmerized, you are, by the snowflakes adrift
Will you allow yourself a silent night with me?

Cardi, I’m far removed from the cameras’ limelights
I’m only a hidden romantic writer of a cabin in the snow,
But, woman, I understand what you’re going through
Wrap your arms around my intimacy and don’t let go

Until the snowfall ceases, God forbid it does tonight
Cry your hurts on my shoulder, say what you want to say,
Holiday intimacy is what you’re in need of most
Let me hold you until the end of Pamper-Her-Friday . . . .
