All I Want For Christmas Is You
The Backbeats and Delilah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's 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
All I want for Christmas
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
You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna 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
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You
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
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
The Backbeats and Delilah's song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is a modern classic that celebrates the true spirit of Christmas: love and companionship. The song showcases the sentimentality of Christmas through its lyrics that express how nothing else matters if they do not have their loved one with them to share the holiday. The singer lets go of superficial desires, emphasizing that they do not care about the presents or the stockings since the only present they need is the one standing outside their door.
The chorus of the song is memorable, catchy, and has a timeless quality. The repetitive "All I Want for Christmas is You" creates an anthem-like quality that is instantly recognizable and relatable to a lot of people. The song's lyrics have a childlike wonder and joy, appealing to the inner child in everyone, and remind us of the joy of the season with sleigh bells ringing, laughter filling the air, and holiday lights sparkling.
The song's message is one of love and warmth, which is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. It is a reminder of what is truly important during the holiday season, and that is spending time with loved ones.
