There in the doorway hangs
   a little green sprig
Tied up with a pretty
   red bow
And all who pause
   beneath this sprig
Are gifted with the
   softest kiss
From the lips of the
   one they hold near
I sigh and turn away
   alone and so lonely
With no lover to steal
   a kiss away
The evening passes in
   painful thoughts
And when I could
   gracefully leave
I got my coat and said
   goodbye
And as I walked through
   the doorway
I felt a hand on me
   shoulder
And hear a voice soft
   and low
Look you are standing
   under the mistletoe
I look up into smiling eyes
   a question in my own
I claim my kiss, you cant
   deny me
You are under the
   mistletoe
Strong arms pull me close
   sweet lips caress my own
Now that little green
   sprig is tucked away
A symbol of love
   begun anew
With a kiss
   under the mistletoe
