[Verse 1: Jake Hoot]
The lake is frozen over
Trees are white with snow
And all around, reminders of you
Are everywhere I go

[Verse 2: Kelly Clarkson & Jake Hoot, Both]
It's late and morning's in no hurry
But sleep won't set me free (Won't set me free)
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me
When silence gets too hard to handle
And the night too long

[Chorus: Jake Hoot & Kelly Clarkson, Both]
And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
(Love) Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by

[Bridge: Jake Hoot & Kelly Clarkson, Both]
Oh I miss you now, my love
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, my love
[Verse 3: Jake Hoot & Kelly Clarkson]
Sense of joy fills the air
And I daydream and I stare
Up at the tree and I see you
Up at the tree and I see your star up there, up there

[Chorus: Jake Hoot & Kelly Clarkson, Both]
And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
(Love) Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by (I keep this moment by and by)
I keep this moment by and by (I keep this moment by and by)
I keep this moment by and by
I keep this moment by and by
