Christmas
Leona Naess (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Christmas to my hips
So dangerous the strangest feeling of being
I want willow trees and melodies and flowers counting
Hours 'til he's breathing leaving the rest behind
'Cause I'm full of love
And the sun sparkles meadows green
I want kisses and dresses
A late night message that cradles, halos me to sleep
'Cause I'm full of love
Yeah I'm full of the above
Like a mother leads her cubs astray
And a teacher leaves at the end of each day
I'll stay
So cover me but lover please be patient
Loves ancient but not for me
'Cause I'm full of love
Yeah I'm full of the above
Like christmas stays with you
Walk through darkened streets as we lay true
Lights from your heart lead me to you
The lyrics of "Christmas" by Leona Naess speak about the overwhelming feeling of love that the singer experiences. The words that come out of the lover's lips are compared to the feeling of Christmas and it makes her feel dangerous and strange. She longs for nature, with its willow trees and melodies, and she wants to count the hours until her lover can breathe with her. The singer is full of love and she wants kisses and dresses, and a late-night message that could wrap her up and cradle her to sleep. She compares herself to a mother leading her cubs astray but deciding to stay, and a teacher who leaves at the end of each day but promising to stay. She asks her lover to cover her but to be patient, and although love is ancient, it is not for her. She remains full of love, like Christmas that stays with you, and she is willing to walk through darkened streets to find her lover who lights the way to her heart.
