Chase Holfelder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
underneath the Cristmas tree
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
is you
oh baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
(and I)
I just wanna keep on waiting
underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
to the North Pole for Saint Nick
(and I)
I won't even stay awake to
hear thoes magic reindeer click
I just want you here tonight
holding on to me so tight
what more can I do?
all I want for Christmas is you
none of the lights are shining
brightly anywhere
and the sounds of children's
crying fills the air
and no one is singing
I don't hear sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
won't you please bring my baby to me?
I don't want alot for Christmas
this is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
make my wish come true
all I want for Christmas
is you
all i want for Christmas is you, baby
all i want for Christmas is you, baby
you're all I want
all i want for Christmas is you, baby
you're all I want
all i want for Christmas is you, baby
