Glow
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Three, four)

You're the only one, only one I got my eyes on
And I don't need, I don't need but a second then I'm gone
But when the snow starts fallin', Christmas ain't far
And I feel it
In my heart, in my bones, you're the secret I hold
Can you keep it?
If you ever need me, if you find yourself alone
Christmas is a season, lights like you glow on and on

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Oh, record spinning as I'm dreaming about how to get you alone
A little wine, slow dancing, making memories with mistletoe
Did you know that I thought about telling you a hundred times before?
And I'm standing here handing you my heart 'cause I couldn't wait anymore
I could make you laugh, I would never let you down
My list in the past, for Santa isn't different now

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Glow, glow, glow

Did you know, did you know
Christmas can't compete with your (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Just so you know

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow




It's a shame you can't see
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Glow Lyrics

You're the only one, only one I got my eyes on
I don't need, I don't need but a second, then I'm gone
But when the snow starts falling
Christmas ain't far and I'm feeling
In my heart, in my bones, you're the secret I hold and you'll keep it
If you ever need me, if you find yourself alone
Christmas is a season, lights like you glow all year long

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees, even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Oh, reckless spending as I'm dreaming about how to get you alone
A little wine, slow dance, and making memories to mistletoe
Did you know that I thought about telling you a hundred times before?
And I'm standing in the hall 'cause I couldn't wait anymore
I could make you laugh, I would never let you down
My list in the past, Santa is indifferent now

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees, even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Did you know, did you know Christmas can't compete with your
(Glow, glow)
Did you know, did you know, did you know, did you know
(Glow)
Did you know, did you know
Just so you know

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees, even Christmas can't compete with your glow

It's a shame you can't see
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Janelle Stephens

Hayley Warner and others did agreat job writing this song true artist love it

Kim Welch

She is prob one of the most underrated singers. She is a powerhouse vocalist.

beardown2489

I don’t consider her underrated. Any vocalist knows. She’s easily one of the best singers to spend time in the pop game over the last two decades. There are less than 10 people that can make the same list as her. Right now it’s pretty much Kelly, Ariana, Jessie J on top for females. Stapleton and Bruno on top for male singers

KellyC

@Amy L she Is great But she definitely deserves more...
