This Christmas
이소라 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

기억나요 우리 오래전
이렇게 했잖아요
눈이 오는 크리스마스 전날밤이면
머리맡에 모두 기다란 양말
잊었나요 우리 선물은
요술처럼 왔잖아
눈을 뜨면 왠지 모를 설레임
벌써 누군가가 다녀간거야

생각해봐요 이 모든 일들이
다시 우리에게 돌아와준다면
멋지잖아요 꿈같은 일들이
하루만이라도 이루어진다면
기대해봐요 누가 오는지
우리 안에 숨어있던 사람인가요
좋았나요 오늘 하루는 웃음이 나잖아요
동화속에서 본 예쁜 밤하늘
별은 눈이 되어 내리고있죠

생각해봐요 이 모든 일들이
다시 우리에게 돌아와준다면
멋지잖아요 꿈같은 일들이
하루만이라도 이루어진다면
기대해봐요 누가 오는지
우리 안에 숨어있던 사람인가요
기억나요 우리 오래전
이렇게 했잖아요
눈이 오는 크리스마스 하얀 밤이면
벌써 누군가가 다녀간거야
눈이 와요

행복하세요
Happy christmas
