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
