Ring the Bell
silver trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(1) This Christmas I believe that we′ll find, melody that meets between two lines.
Can I believe in you?
This Christmas I can feel that we're not, where we need to be but still I try, try to believe in you. () Ring the bell, that breaks my heart, when all I know is we′re miles apart and I wished for you.
And I wished for you.
This season I miss the cold, in getting warm by getting close in a snowed-in room.
This Christmas time all I want is you. (2) The first years snow has fallen on my feet, all I know is you're not here to be, in love with the winter too.
Ooh those brown eyes, oh that angel hair.
Pray don't push me, or I′ll slip I swear.
I′ll trap this southern air, and run back home. () Ring the bell, that breaks my heart, when all I know is we're miles apart and I wished for you.
And I wished for you.
This season I miss the cold, in getting warm by getting close in a snowed-in room.
This Christmas time all I want is you. (again) Ring the bell, that breaks my heart, when all I know is we′re miles apart and I wished for you.
And I wished for you.
This season I miss the cold, in getting warm by getting close in a snowed-in room.




This Christmas time all I want is you.
This Christmas time all I want is you.
