All I Want For Christmas Is You
Sophie Simmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
I don′t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won′t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I won′t ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won′t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
′Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
All I want for Christmas
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won′t you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I′m asking for
I just wanna 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
All I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas
is You by Sophie Simmons is a modern take on Mariah Carey's classic Christmas song. The lyrics express the singer's Christmas wish to be with her loved one, rather than receiving material gifts. She repeats that she only needs this one thing and that she doesn't want anything else. She doesn't care about the presents under the tree or hanging a stocking by the fireplace because her only desire is her loved one's presence.
The next verse confirms that her wish is only to be with her loved one, stating she wants to wait under the mistletoe and hold her loved one tightly. She doesn't need to write a list for Santa Claus, and she won't even wait for the sound of magic reindeer because all she wants is to be with her loved one. The lyrics express the importance of love, and how being with the ones you love is the greatest gift of all.

You can hear laughter all around
And everyone is singing
Everyone is joyful
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The bells from Santa's sleigh are ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Santa, please bring me the person I really want to be with
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
Hoping Santa can deliver my wish quickly
This is all I'm asking for
This is the only thing I want for Christmas
I just wanna see my baby
All I want is to see you
Standing right outside my door
At my house, waiting for me
