Christmas Love
3LW Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I smell the breakfast
Mama's gone and dressed up the table
I love this time of the year
At a time when I know I should be nothing but thankful
Something's got me sitting here troubled
And I've been thinking bout it
And I don't understand
Shouldn't just be at this time of the year
The love that you be showin' your
Family and friends should be
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
Shouldn't just be at this time of year
He gave his life for you
Just to show you his love for you
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
All of the children are outside playin'
And all the parents in the house singing
There's so much joy in the air
But what about yesterday?
And what about tomorrow when the snow melts away?
And what about the other day after?
Will we realize that his love is forever and always?
Shouldn't just be at this time of the year
The love that you be showin' your
Family and friends should be
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
Shouldn't just be at this time of year
He gave his life for you
Just to show you his love for you
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
What about yesterday?
The day after and the day after that?
Shouldn't just be at this time of year
Shouldn't just be at this time of the year
The love that you be showin' your
Family and friends should be
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
Shouldn't just be at this time of year
He gave his life for you
Just to show you his love for you
Always and forever love
Not just Christmas love
The song "Christmas Love" by 3LW explores the idea of how love should not only be expressed during the holiday season but throughout the year. The opening lyrics describe a festive morning in which the singer is surrounded by loved ones and enjoying a delicious breakfast. However, the song takes a turn as the singer starts to ponder why people only seem to express such love and joy during Christmas time. The singer emphasizes that love should not be limited to just special occasions but should be present all year long. The second verse implores listeners to consider how love should be expressed beyond just the holiday season and throughout every day of their lives. The song ends with a final reminder to express love year-round.
The song highlights that often people tend to focus just on the festive season, on the gifts and the merriments, and forget about love throughout the year. 3LW brings attention to the fact that the love and affection that people express during Christmas time should be a year-long commitment. The song suggests that this love and affection should be expressed not only to family members but also towards friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike. The song reminds listeners of the importance of love throughout the year, building relationships outside of special occasions or holidays.
Line by Line Meaning
Early in the morning
At the start of the day
I smell the breakfast
I can detect the aroma of food being prepared
Mama's gone and dressed up the table
My mother has taken the time to set the table with care
I love this time of the year
This season fills me with joy and contentment
At a time when I know I should be nothing but thankful
During a time when I recognize I should feel grateful
Something's got me sitting here troubled
Something is causing me to feel uneasy
And I've been thinking bout it
I have been contemplating this matter
And I don't understand
And I cannot comprehend
All of the children are outside playin'
The kids are having fun outdoors
And all the parents in the house singing
The grownups are joining in song inside
There's so much joy in the air
The atmosphere is filled with happiness
But what about yesterday?
But what about the past?
And what about tomorrow when the snow melts away?
And what about when the current joys have passed?
And what about the other day after?
And what about the days that follow?
Will we realize that his love is forever and always?
Do we understand that God's love endures eternally?
Shouldn't just be at this time of the year
Love shouldn't only be shown during the holidays
The love that you be showin' your...
The affection that you demonstrate to...
Family and friends should be
Your relatives and loved ones should receive
Always and forever love
Unconditional, enduring love
Not just Christmas love
Not just love displayed during the holiday season
He gave his life for you
Jesus sacrificed his life for us
Just to show you his love for you
To demonstrate his immense love for us
