Are You Ready
S I Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weather’s getting colder
Another year has gotten older
Are you ready for Christmastime
Ready for Christmastime
I really don’t remember
People asking In September
Are you ready for Christmastime
Ready for Christmastime

It seems like only yesterday it was Christmastime
Now the stores around the park
One by one are going dark
They’re all empty this Christmas time
Empty at Christmastime
Cause we’re buying everything online this Christmastime
Yeah we’re buying everything online at Christmastime
When I was just a little boy
It was something to see
All the love and all the joy
Oh how I miss how it used to be
When I was just a little boy
It was something to see
All the love and all the joy
Oh how I miss how it used to be
When the lights up in the street
Would shine on people that we meet
Getting ready for Christmastime
Ready for Christmastime
And if you would just believe a star will shine
Make a Christmas wish and everything will be just fine

As long as I am yours and you are mine this Christmastime
Oh Christmastime Oh Christmastime
