That's All I Want From You
The Silva-Tones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is snow on the ground
Christmas cheer all over town
Sleigh bells ring
I hear children single
Oh what a silent night
Love it's cold outside
Won't you come and stay
With me tonight
I'll keep you warm just wait and see
You can be the gift under my Christmas tree
I would have nothing I would have nothing without you this Christmas
I would have nothing I would have nothing without you this Christmas
People moving to and fro
Stop to Kiss under the mistletoe
There's a chill in the air
Christmas morning quite near
Love it's cold outside
Won't you come and stay
With me tonight
I'll keep you warm just wait and see
You can be the gift under my Christmas tree
I would have nothing I would have nothing without you this Christmas
I would have nothing I would have nothing without you this Christmas
If Santa's on his way I hope he has you some where hidden on his sleigh
If he finds my chimney tonightMay he lay you right by my side
I'll keep you warm just wait and see
You'll be the hide underneath my Christmas tree
But I'll have nothing's with out you
This Christmas. This Christman

The opening lines describe the wintry atmosphere with snow on the ground and a festive atmosphere in town. The sleigh bells ring and the children sing, setting a peaceful and serene scene. However, the singer expresses that without love, it feels cold outside.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of having someone special by their side during Christmas. The singer asks this person to come and stay with them, offering warmth and companionship. They envision this person as the ultimate gift, metaphorically comparing them to something under the Christmas tree. The repetition of the line "I would have nothing without you this Christmas" underscores the significance of this person in the singer's life during the holiday season.
The second verse describes the hustle and bustle of people during the festivities, including kissing under the mistletoe. While Christmas morning draws near, the singer continues to express the need for companionship to combat the cold atmosphere. The bridge of the song introduces a reference to Santa Claus, expressing the hope that he will bring this special person to the singer. The desire for this person to be by their side is so strong that the singer wishes for them to be laid right next to them if Santa finds their chimney.
