Merry Christmas Baby
Nicole C. Mullen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish that You were here
I've been hoping, praying maybe
I could give away my fear
Of being alone without You at home
How I miss You when we're apart
But I'll treasure it all, the grand and the small
So, Merry Christmas, Baby
Merry Christmas, Baby
Merry Christmas with love
Ooh, yeah
Merry Christmas, Baby
Many long to see this day
Wish that I had more to give You
Than a stable and some hay
One look in Your eyes reassured me
That I am right where You wanted me
In the midst of this stall, the wonder of all
Is how grand something small can be
So Merry Christmas, Baby
Merry Christmas, Baby
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Baby
Merry Christmas with love, love
Merry Christmas, Baby
I'm so glad that You are here
Is it true that I can give You
All my hopes and all my fears?
From being alone to things I've done wrong
My tomorrows, come what may
You're the Lord of it all, the grand and the small
Tiny wonder, Ancient of Days
So Merry Christmas, Baby
Oh Merry Christmas, Baby
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Baby
Merry Christmas with love
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Baby
