Lost
Holger Czukay & U-She Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you could forget everything
Just for one day I'd take you right back
To when you were a little girl!
To when each day promised you pearls
Before you grew up
And I wish that we owned the house we live in
And I wish that we had no bills to pay
Something so valuable that it didn't cost
Happy Christmas to you
May all your dreams come true
And may somebody save you tonight
And may you still believe that I might
And may some things just turn out all right
And I wish that we owned the house we live in
And I wish that we had no bills to pay
And I wish I could find something this Christmas
Something so valuable that it didn't cost
Happy Christmas to you
May all your dreams come true
And may somebody save you tonight
And may you still believe that I might
And may some things just turn out all right
just turn out all right

The chorus repeats a wish for a happy Christmas and for all dreams to come true, coupled with a plea for salvation and for things to ultimately turn out okay.
