Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill a glass and maybe come and sing with me
So kiss me under the mistletoe
Pour out the wine, let's toast and pray for December snow
I know there's been pain this year, but it's time to let it go
Next year, you never know
But for now, Merry Christmas
We'll dance in the kitchen while embers glow
We've both known love, but this love we got is the best of all
I wish you could see it through my eyes then you would know
My God, you look beautiful right now
Merry Christmas
The fire is raging on
And we'll all sing along to the song
Just having so much fun
While we're here, can we all spare a thought
For the ones who have gone?
Merry Christmas, everyone
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)
So just keep kissing me under the mistletoe
Pour out the wine, let's toast and pray for December snow
I know there's been pain this year, but it's time to let it go
Next year, you never know
But for now, Merry Christmas
We'll dance in the kitchen while embers glow
We've both known love, but this love we got is the best of all
I wish you could see it through my eyes then you would know
My God, you look beautiful right now
Merry Christmas
I feel it when it comes
Every year, helping us carry on
Filled up with so much love
All the family and friends all together
Where we all belong
Merry Christmas, everyone
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas
It's Christmas time for you and I
We'll have a good night and a merry Christmas time
The song "Merry Christmas" by Ed Sheeran and Elton John is a festive track that captures the spirit of the holiday through the lyrics. The song begins with an invitation to build a fire and gather around the tree, followed by a suggestion to fill a glass and come sing with the singers. The chorus talks about kissing under the mistletoe and toasting with wine, celebrating the arrival of December snow. The lyrics then reflect on the challenges faced during the year, but the singers urge to let go of the pain and wish for another year that can be better, and for now, they wish a Merry Christmas to everyone.
The next verse describes the couple dancing in the kitchen while the fire is still burning, expressing the love they share and how blessed they feel to have each other. The singers wish that everyone could see their love through their eyes, showing the depth of their love on this special day. The bridge talks about thinking of the ones who are not with them during the holiday season, and praying for them. Finally, the song ends with repeating "It's Christmas time for you and I", acknowledging that the whole world is celebrating this day.
