John Donnelly & Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't got no particular thought
'Cause I got all I wished for this Christmas
So baby
You can tell Mr. Claus "No, thank you"
He can pack up his sleigh and his reindeer
Don't you know when you're here that is all I want
I want this Christmas
You are all
I want forever
Just say, just say
"I'll always love you this way"
And baby, baby
It'll be just like Christmas every day
Hey, yeah (Christmas every day)
Like Christmas every day
Oh, yeah (Christmas every day)
Uh
Checked off my wish list I'm done
This feeling is second to none
'Cause I can't think of nothing I want
But you baby
By the Christmas tree, let us just hang there
Be the star, be the magic in the air
Don't you know when you're here that is all I want
'Cause you are all
I want this Christmas
Yes you are all
I want forever
Just say, just say
"I'll always love you this way"
And baby, baby
It'll be just like Christmas every day
Baby you're all that I need
So under the tree
I don't want a thing
'Cause with you it's Christmas every day
I want this Christmas
You are all
I want forever
And everyday is Christmas
Just say, just say
"I'll always love you this way"
And baby, baby, baby
It'll be just like Christmas every day
Just like Christmas every day
