Eddie Fisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're all I want for Christmas
All I want my whole life through
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I'm with you

You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true
Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
And find my stockings filled with you

Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I'm with you

You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true




Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
And find my stockings filled with you

The song opens with the declaration that the singer's beloved is the only thing they desire- not just for the holiday season, but for life. The verses describe the joy that comes from being near this person, and how every moment shared with them feels like a gift. The chorus reaffirms the singer's desire: they hope to open their presents on Christmas morning to find their stockings "filled with you." Overall, the lyrics are romantic, sentimental, and full of holiday cheer: a perfect addition to any Christmas playlist.


Interestingly, the song was written by the relatively unknown songwriting duo of Steve Nelson and Walter Kent, who had previously written hits for artists like Bing Crosby and Doris Day. "You're All I Want for Christmas" was one of Eddie Fisher's most successful records, earning him a gold record and becoming a holiday classic in its own right. The song has been covered numerous times over the years by artists including Al Martino, Brook Benton, and Bing Crosby. In 2018, Kelly Clarkson also recorded a version of the song for her holiday album "Wrapped in Red."
