All I want for Christmas is a house up in the hills

With colored lights and music, frosted window sills

Filled with all my loved ones, all the old and young ones too

All I want for Christmas is you.



All I want for Christmas is to spread a bit of cheer

With people I don't notice every other day of the year

All I want for Christmas is a smile from someone new

All I want for Christmas is you.



Christmas in the city can be lonely, and it's pretty

But it's not the same as when I was a child

People were much kinder, I guess I was so much blinder

How I wish that I could go back, for a while.



All I want for Christmas is to see my old best friend

I don't know where he lives now, and I know I never will again

All I want for Christmas is to send this wish his way

I hope you have a merry Christmas Day.



Christmas in the city can be lonely, what a pity

There's so many with so very much to do

I hope to find the joy this season, in those who don't need a reason

To make it Christmas time the whole year through.



All I want for Christmas is a Christmas like I had

With my brothers and my sisters, my Mom and Dad

All I want for Christmas is to send this song their way

I hope you have a Merry Christmas Day
