All I See Is You
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air veryone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the
One I really need?
Won't you bring back my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

'Cause I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas




All I want for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is you
