A Christmas Song For You
Kem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met a girl on Christmas day
She stole my heart took my breath away
We were young and quite naive
Young enough we still believed

That love never dies
It just grows throughout our lifetime
And girl you know it's true
Here's a Christmas song for you, baby
Hey girl
Merry Christmas girl, yeah

At this special time of year
I am thankful that you're still here
There'll be mistletoes and color lights for the Christmas tree
They barely define what you mean to me

Baby love never dies
It just grows throughout our lifetime
And girl you know it's true
Here's a Christmas song for you, baby
I love you girl, yeah

In my heart I always knew
That I would spend my whole life with you
So may your holidays be merry and be raised
And may your world be at peace tonight

Baby love never dies
It just grows throughout our lifetime
And girl you know it's true
You're like a light in my life shining through




If there was only one thing I could do
I'd sing this Christmas song to you
