All I Want for Christmas Is You
Michael Bubl¨¦ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about those presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
You know that all I want for Christmas is you
I wont ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
No I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
There's no sense in hanging stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus he won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
Girl what can I do
You know that all I want for Christmas is you
And all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I can hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really love
Won't you please bring my baby to me
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
No I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
You know that all I want for Christmas
Is you
Is you
The song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Michael Bublé, originally sung by Mariah Carey, is a classic anthem about love and longing during the holiday season. The lyrics express the strong desire for someone to be with during Christmas, rather than material gifts. The song starts with the singer expressing that they don't need or want a lot of presents, except for one thing: the person they are singing to. The line "I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know" highlights just how important this person is to the singer, and how much they crave their presence over anything else.
The second verse emphasizes this desire for companionship during the holiday season, as the singer waits under the mistletoe, hoping for their loved one to arrive. The line "there's no sense in hanging stocking there upon the fireplace" further emphasizes how the material trappings of Christmas are meaningless without the presence of someone special.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that all the singer wants is the person they love, and that their presence would make their Christmas dreams come true. The final verse emphasizes the joy and celebration that surrounds Christmas, even as the singer continues to wait for their love. They end the song by reiterating that all they want for Christmas is that one special person.

I’m listening to ‘All I want for christmas is you.’ And the lyrics have never been more relevant, or heartbreaking. This is a year where so many of us have lost near and dear ones, a year where we are unable to even afford a hug, never mind the presents.
I’m thinking of every single person who has struggled emotionally, physically and financially this year.
I’m holding a prayer in my heart for every single person who will be surrounded by empty chairs and half filled tables.
I love you all, I send my blessings x

@aetherograph
I like that he didn't try to be Mariah Carey's version, and just did his own quiet Michael Buble version. Wonderful.
@MetalMan40
Benjamin Drago Yeah. His music kind of gives me the Frank Sinatra vibe.
@delaneymarie9698
I literally had no idea it was the same one I listen to this all the time I feel kind of dumb
@Chluffles
Mike Gee that’s adorable
@luizholiveira3105
this is not his version, this is the version of the movie Love Actually, he just copied it.
@torstencolijn
Luiz H Oliveira Michael Blublé made his version way more down tempo. The version in ‘Love Actually’ is just like the Mariah Carey original fore the most part. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/g7VKQMytX8M

Finally someone to fight back Mariah’s defrosting

With this song, last Christmas, under an illuminated tree, I asked my girlfriend to marry me ... And she said yes ... Now she is my wife and this will always be the most beautiful song of our life ... Thanks Michael .. .
