Cold Cold Christmas
Dana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

According to the radio
Warmer weathers on the way
The chances are we won't be getting snow
But even if the sun shines from now to Christmas Day
As far as I'm concerned, I know

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

Yesterday I saw your mom and dad
We bought our cards together
I've put the presents on the Christmas tree
And as I write this letter
It's warm, inside
The log fire's burning bright, oh darling
If only you were here, to make it right

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

I didn't bother with the mistletoe
You won't be here to kiss me
The only consolation that I've got
I know for sure you'll miss me
It won't be long
Until you're home again, and we can
Share these magic moments, but 'til then

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you
Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a long and lonely Christmas without you
Missing you, my darling
In oh, so many ways

It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas without you




Dreaming of those warm, warm, lazy summer days
It's gonna be a

Overall Meaning

time of heartache and sadness for the singer, as they face the holiday season without their significant other. The first verse talks about how the radio forecasts a warmer winter, and that there may be no snow, but despite the potential sunshine, the singer knows that it will still be a cold Christmas without their loved one. The second verse reveals that the singer has already done some of the preparations for the holiday season, such as buying cards and putting presents under the tree, but the warmth that should accompany these activities is missing because their partner is not there to share the joy.


The third verse continues in the same vein, with the singer lamenting that there will be no one to kiss under the mistletoe, and that the only thing they can hold onto is the knowledge that their partner will miss them too. The song ends with a sense of hope that their loved one will return soon and that they can once again share the magic of the holiday season together.


Overall, the lyrics depict the loneliness and isolation that can come with the holiday season, especially when one is missing an important person in their life. The warm, cozy fire burning brightly in the hearth is a stark contrast to the cold and emptiness that the singer feels without their loved one. It is a bittersweet reminder that while the holiday is meant to bring people together, sometimes circumstances make it impossible to do so.

@Charles Turnbull horrible to read this to be honest.

i am from 1982. I assume you both are talking about way before 1982.
And, i can imagine that between 1945 and 1982 it was a different time.

Actually, up to 2001, it was a different time. Already not as it was prior to 1945, but ah well........

Me, not having enjoyed the time you guys enjoyed still think we should get that time back again.
Why not?
O wait, i know why not.
Money, right?
Even today we can see money rules.
Those socalled experts who get paid by the government wont open up their mouth to speak truth.
Because they know when experts dare say the truth, they will be ridiculed. Or even put in jail.
Plenty of examples.

Wish we could turn back time indeed.
but it really bothers me that there are people like you guys who think that way, so you guys MUST know something is wrong, and yet somehow you are just typing a message. (sure, i agree, i am doing that as well. )

Just imagine this: IF the soldiers who stormed up the beaches in Normandie could see the world today......
Would they have gone up those beaches?
They were fighting for Liberty, right?
To make sure we would not be enslaved by some "System".

And yet, we are.
Might we not have been told the entire truth about certain historical events?

So, to be able to turn back time, should a person be ignorant?
If a person does not even know what the real past looked like, then saying something like : Wish we could turn back time..... it has no meaning.
Turn back time to what?
To when?
Only when you dare acknowledge the truth will you know to when and to what.
But most dont dare say it.
Because the further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who dare speak it.
Most of the time they will be labeled, something like: Conspiracy theorist.

Anyways, i am glad to see some people are still capable of enjoying the fairy tale world that has been set up around them.
>;)
Pls dont take this the wrong way.

This song reminds me when I was a kid and life was just a playground. Loving parents, brother, sister, family and friends. I had it all and still have it all.
Even though I have lost lots of friends and family along the way, I love my life.

@charles5596
