Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Candles gleaming inside
Painted cany canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
He's filled his slay
With things, things for you and for me
It's the time of year
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas to you
The lyrics to Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra's song "Christmas Waltz" paint a nostalgic picture of the holiday season. The first stanza describes a cozy, winter wonderland with frosted window panes and candles glowing inside. The painted candy canes on the tree and the mention of Santa Claus's arrival add to the festive atmosphere. The second stanza is more universal, expressing the sentiment that this is a time when the world falls in love. This is reflected in the music heard during the season, which seems to carry the message of joy and goodwill. The singer wishes listeners a Merry Christmas and a happy new year, and concludes by offering this song, set in the waltz rhythm, as a gift of warmth and love.
