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
