Don't Save It All for Christmas Day
Céline Dion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss
To the ones you love
Don't even wait a little while
To give them just a little smile
A little is enough

How many people are crying
People are dying
How many people are asking for love

So don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find a way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love

How could you wait another minute
A hug is warmer when you're in it
And baby that's a fact
And saying I love you's always better
Seasons, reasons, they don't matter
So don't hold back

How many people in this world
So needful in this world
How many people are praying for love

So don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find a way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on
Love

Let all the children know
Everywhere that they go
Their whole life long
Let them know love

Don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
To give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas Day, hey hey
Find your way
Everyone, everyone, don't save it all for Christmas Day
Find your way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give on




Love

Overall Meaning

These lyrics of Celine Dion's song, Don't Save It All for Christmas Day, urge people to not wait for the holiday season to show love and affection to the people they care about. The song emphasizes that life is too short, and one should not get caught up in the busyness of everyday life and thus forget to appreciate those who matter to them. In the first verse, the lyrics advise people to show love through small gestures such as a kiss or a smile towards their loved ones as they may be all that is needed to make their day better.


The chorus emphasizes the message of the song, which is to spread love and kindness every day and not wait for a special occasion. It questions the listener on how many people are in the world crying, dying or asking for love, and thus emphasizes that love should not only be reserved for special occasions like Christmas day. The lyrics suggest finding different ways to show love daily and not overlooking the importance of small gestures like hugs and a simple "I love you."


The second verse addresses the listener directly and suggests to them that waiting even for a minute may be too late to offer warmth and affection to loved ones. It concludes by asking the listener to be mindful of the people around them and to realize that many may need love and it is up to us to make the world a better place by being more kind and loving.
