Steps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping you can make my wish come true
All I want this Christmas time
To have my baby by my side
I never should have let us go
Now I'm looking back I wish I'd known
Said somethings I should never said
Snow is falling I'm alone and
Won't you help me please
I'll be good if you only would
Oh bring my baby home to me
I'll leave a candle burning bright
So you can find your way to make this right
All I want is my baby home
More than you could ever know
Snow is falling I'm alone and
Won't you help me please
I'll be good if you only would
Oh bring my baby home to me
Snow is falling I'm alone and
Won't you help me please
I'll be good if you only would
Oh bring my baby home to me
Oh bring my baby home to me
Oh bring my baby home to me
The lyrics of Steps's song "Dear Santa" are a plea to Santa Claus from someone who wants nothing more than to be reunited with their loved one. The song expresses deep regret over lost opportunities to keep the relationship intact and a desire to make things right for the future. The writer appeals to Santa to help them by bringing their baby home to them for Christmas. The reference to "baby" in the lyrics does not necessarily mean an actual infant, but rather a term of endearment for their beloved.
The song starts with the writer acknowledging the importance of Santa Claus and expresses hope that he can help them achieve their Christmas wish. They then proceed to reveal their true desire, that of being with their loved one during the holiday season. The regret over past mistakes is evident in the second verse, "Said somethings I should never said, Shoulda held them in instead." The anticipation of a positive outcome is also highlighted by the imagery of a burning candle, used to light the way for Santa's delivery.
Overall, "Dear Santa" is a plea for hope and redemption through the uniter of all, Santa Claus. Despite the themes of longing and regret, there is an underlying sense of gratitude and faith. The use of simple but powerful words and the sweet melody make this a timeless holiday classic.
