    Why I Love “All I Want For Christmas Is You” – And Covered It Anyway

    all-i-want-for-christmas

    I’m gonna go out on a limb here and formally let you know that I’m a fan of the movie ‘Love Actually’. There I said it. No, I’m not turning in my man-card. It’s a brilliantly written movie. Plus I dig all the actors and actresses in the movie, plus what’s not to love about british romance? What’s my point? Well at the end of the flick there’s a special christmas performer who sings a tune and she does an amazing job at it. Thus for all the fans of the flick, I’m posting the lyrics for All I Want For Christmas Is You.

    p.s. – if you don’t know, I’ve done a cover version of this and you can get it on iTunes or listen on Spotify.

    All I Want For Christmas Is You

    I don’t want a lot for Christmas
    There is just one thing I need
    I don’t care about the presents
    Underneath the Christmas tree

    I just want you for my own
    More than you could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.

    I don’t want a lot for Christmas
    There is just one thing I need
    And I don’t care about the presents
    Underneath the Christmas tree

    I don’t need to hang my stocking
    There upon the fireplace
    Santa Claus won’t make me happy
    With a toy on Christmas Day

    I just want you for my own
    More than you could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    All I want for Christmas is you
    You, baby

    Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
    I won’t even wish for snow
    And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
    Underneath the mistletoe

    I won’t make a list and send it
    To the North Pole for Saint Nick
    I won’t even stay awake to
    Hear those magic reindeer click

    ‘Cause I just want you here tonight
    Holding on to me so tight
    What more can I do?
    Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
    You, baby

    Oh, all the lights are shining
    So brightly everywhere
    And the sound of children’s
    Laughter fills the air

    And everyone is singing
    I hear those sleigh bells ringing
    Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need?
    Won’t you please bring my baby to me?

    Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
    This is all I’m asking for
    I just want to see my baby
    Standing right outside my door

    Oh, I just want you for my own
    More than you could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    Baby, all I want for Christmas is
    You, baby

    All I want for Christmas is you, baby
    All I want for Christmas is you, baby
    All I want for Christmas is you, baby
    All I want for Christmas is you, baby

    Enjoy!
