lyrics
You're all, all I want for Christmas
You're all, all I want for Christmas
Frost is on the window, all the dreams are there
Hurry, come inside
There's a chill in the air
I'm glad that you can make it though you worked a little late
I'm sure the cap remembers you
Can't you see it on my face
Won't you stay awhile and share some cheer with me?
I hope you didn't mind
If I crawled upon your knee
Just pretend you're center, then I whisper your ear
I made up my mind after all these years
You're all, all I want for Christmas
Having you would satisfy all my wishes
You're all, all I want for Christmas
Wouldn't you let me try to be your sense
I know we can't go back to things that used to be
That's not what I want
That's sure not what you need
I didn't recognize the man you always were
I didn't try to keep from walking out before
Since we're not going alone here and there
For once in my life I'm trying to be sincere
Look deep in my eyes
I'm sure that you will see
How happy just these few moments have made me
Ooh-ooh, baby, you're all I want for Christmas
Having you would satisfy all my wishes
All I want for Christmas
Why'd you let me try to be your new sense
(I want for Christmas
I want for Christmas)
(I want for Christmas
I want for Christmas)
You're all I want for Christmas
Having you would satisfy all my wishes
All I want for Christmas
Today you can make me so very happy
You for Christmas
I want to wrap you up
Put my arms around you, baby
You for Christmas
Nobody, nobody, nobody else but you, boy
All I want for Christmas
To have you by my side and make everything all right
All I want for Christmas
Baby, it's you I want to see under my Christmas tree
You, nobody but you, baby
