Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
Christmas - time of the hearts
Love is glowing up the dark
Snow is falling in the park
All around us angels sing I do
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
Last Christmas, lost in despair
No one even seemed to care
I just sat there and stared
I hadn't met you but inside I knew
That all I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All the presents under the tree
Didn't no more matter to me
Presents we get every year
This Christmas you are the biggest my dear
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
Christmas, bells in the snow
How could I let my love show
for some one I didn't know
Stranger to my life, my heart only knew
That all I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
Christmas, you came to me
Your love made me weak
Suddenly I couldn't speak
There you were to rip me out of the blue
And all I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you
