The Whispers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas.
And as we trim the tree,
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas.
The fireside is blazing bright.
We're caroling through the night.
And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me.
Presents and cards are here.
My world is filled with cheer and you this Christmas.
And as I look around, your eyes outshine the town,
They do this Christmas.
The fireside is blazing bright.
We're caroling through the night.
And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me.
(This Christmas will be so special for me.)
Merry Christmas.
Oh. The fireside is blazing bright.
We're caroling through the night.
And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me.
(This Christmas will be so special for me.)
Shake a hand, shake a hand, shake a hand.
Spread love all over the land.
Make a friend whenever you can.
It's gonna be a very special Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you.
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas.
The Whispers’s song This Christmas is a classic Christmas song that celebrates the joy and togetherness of the holiday season. The first verse talks about hanging mistletoe and getting to know someone better during Christmas, possibly implying a romantic interest. The second verse talks about how the holiday season is filled with presents, cards, and cheer, and how the presence of someone special makes it even more magical. The chorus emphasizes the warmth and coziness of the fireside, the joy of caroling, and how it will be a very special Christmas for the singer.
The song's opening phrase references the tradition of hanging mistletoe, which was believed to bring good luck and increase fertility. It is said that when standing under the mistletoe, it is customary for couples to kiss. The song’s use of this tradition implies that the singer has a special someone in mind whom they want to get to know better during the holiday season.
In the second verse, the singer says that the world is filled with cheer and that their eyes outshine the town during Christmas. This imagery suggests that the holiday season makes everything and everyone brighter and more joyful. Finally, the chorus reiterates the idea that the singer is looking forward to spending time with loved ones and how this Christmas will be a very special one. The song ends with a call to "spread love all over the land" and make new friends during the festival.
