All I Want for Christmas Is You
Michael Bublé Feat. The Puppini Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want a lot for Christmas
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 stockings
There upon the fireplace 'cause
Santa, 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 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
Is you

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, j-jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, j-j-j-jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what a lotta fun, what a lotta fun to ride and sing
In a one horse open sleigh
