Here it is Christmas Day,
And you're many miles away,
And I wonder if you feel the way I do;
In the air there's happiness,
But for me there's loneliness,
All I want for Christmas, dear, is you,
Presents wrapped in green and gold,
And no arms for me to hold,
No lips to whisper softly I love you;
Oh, how happy I would be,
To find you underneath my tree,
All I want for Christmas, dear, is you.
Presents wrapped in green and gold,
And no arms for me to hold,
No lips to whisper softly I love you;
Oh, how happy I would be,
To find you underneath my tree,
All I want for Christmas, dear, is you.
All I want for Christmas, dear, is you.
