What Christmas Means to Me
John Legend Lyrics

Oh yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm for the holiday season

Candles burnin' low
Creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere

Lots of mistletoe toe
Providing opportunities for romantic moments with loved ones

Lots of snow and ice
Bringing about feelings of nostalgia and the magic of the holiday season

Everywhere we go
Being surrounded by the festive spirit of the season

Choirs singin' carols
Adding to the joyful atmosphere with music that celebrates the holiday season

Right outside my door
Being able to hear and enjoy the carolers without having to venture too far from home

All these things and more
The combination of festive elements that make up the holiday season

(All these things and more)
Repeat line

That's what Christmas means to me, my love, ah yeah
This is what makes the holiday season so special to the singer and his loved ones

(That's what Christmas means to me, my love)
Repeat line

Now you know what I mean
Inviting the listener to share in the singer's experience of the holiday season

I see your smilin' face
Noticing the happiness and joy that the holiday season brings to loved ones

Like I never seen before
Feeling like the holiday season brings out a new and even more radiant side of loved ones

Even though I love ya madly
Reaffirming the singer's deep love for his companion

It seems I love you more
Feeling an extra surge of love and affection during the holiday season

And little thoughts you give me
Small gestures of kindness and thoughtfulness from loved ones during the holiday season

Touch my heart for sure
Having a profound impact and making the holiday season even more meaningful

(All these things and more, my darling)
Repeat line with a term of endearment

I feel like runnin' wild
Feeling full of energy and excitement for the holiday season

I feel just like a little child
Experiencing the magic and wonder of the holiday season as if seeing it for the first time

Bring you 'neath the mistletoe
Taking advantage of the romantic opportunities provided by the holiday season

I kiss you once and then some more
Sharing affection and love during the holiday season

And wish you a Merry Christmas, baby
Wishing loved ones happiness and joy during the holiday season

(Wish you a Merry Christmas, baby)
Repeat line

And such happiness in the comin' year
Wishing for continued happiness beyond the holiday season

Oh
Interjection expressing emotion or excitement

Let's deck the halls with holly
Embarking on the joyful task of decorating for the holiday season

Singin' "Silent Night"
Enjoying a peaceful and meaningful carol during the holiday season

Dress the trees with angel hair
Adding whimsical and delicate touches to holiday decor

Pretty, pretty lights
Basking in the warm and cozy glow of holiday lights and decorations

Go to sleep and wake up
Experiencing the excitement of Christmas Eve and morning as a time of magic and anticipation

Just before daylight
Welcoming the sunrise as a new day of holiday joy

That's what Christmas means to me, my love, oh yeah
Reiterating the joy and wonder that the holiday season brings to the singer and his loved ones

(That's what Christmas means to me, my love)
Repeat line
