What Christmas Means To Me
CeeLo Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
Candles burnin' low,
Lot's of mistletoe.
Lot'sof snow and ice,
Evey where we go.
Choirs singin' carols,
Right outside my door.
All these things and more
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)

Yeah, yeah

I see your smilin' face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And little cards you give me
Will touch my heart for sure

All these things and more, darling
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)

I feel like runnin' wild
As angels and a little child
Greet you neath the mistletoe toe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
And such happiness in the comin' year

Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet Silent Night
Fill a sheet with the angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
We'll go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight

All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh!

All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh!

All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means, Christmas means to me
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)

My baby that's what Christmas means to me
(That's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh baby, all these things and more
Oh baby, that's what Christmas means





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