Christmas
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The days are cold
Here amidst the drifts of snow
Just a metaphor of us so many Christmases ago
We had a love so deep
Just like the joy the season brings
So let's fall in love again this Christmas night
Ahh
And every Christmas, I'll be there
This time of year, we're both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time

In the candle's glow
I'm awake, but no one knows
Just waiting patiently to hear the sleigh bells jingle, there they go
And while the Northern Star lights the way, I dream of us
So let's fall in love again this Christmas night

And every Christmas, I'll be there
This time of year, we're both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time (time)

Fa-la-la, fall in love with the feeling
Fa-la-la, fall in love, trust, believe
We can fall in love again at Christmas time
Help me sing it again
Fa-la-la, fall in love, 'tis the season
Don't forget there's a reason
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time
Oh, baby, we gotta fall

Christmas, I'll be there
This time of year, we're both aware
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we roll by
We gotta fall in love again this Christmas time
Oh, baby, we gotta fall (we gotta fall)
In love at Christmas time (whoa)

Let's go
I say we pray (oh, come on)
Pray that we will find (we will find) (I pray that you'll find)
A love for all mankind (all mankind, all mankind)
This Christmas time (this Christmas time)
(What the world really needs)
We all need grace (we all need)
To heal our troubled minds (grace)
It's not that hard to find (this Christmas)
This Christmas time (this Christmas time)

Everyone together, we pray (come on)
Pray that we will find (unconditional love)
A love for all mankind (mankind) (we need it right now, y'all)
This Christmas time (we)
We all need grace upon, grace upon, grace upon
Heal our trouble minds
It's not that hard to find
This Christmas time (it is Christmas)

Listen, more than ever before
Love needs to be somethin' we do, not somethin' we say (time)
This holiday season, let's give love away (it's Christmas)
