Lyrics
It's that time of year again
Make a list and check it twice
Try to find the perfect gift
No matter what the price
But you don't have to spend a dime on me
To make my dreams come true
'Cause all I want for Christmas
Is to wrap my arms around you
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
The world seems like such a crazy place
Not like it used to be
These past few months have made me stop and think
What means the most to me
Like being with the ones I love
And livin' a life that's true
And all these things mean so much more
When I wrap my arms around you
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
Sitting by the fireside a snowy Christmas eve
I see the magic in your eyes, the only gift I'll ever need
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
All I Want For Christmas
