Lyrics
Oh Darlin'
Expressing affection or endearment
Christmas wont be the same, without you here
Acknowledging a significant absence during Christmas
Can't stop thinking about the fun we had last year
Reflecting on enjoyable moments from the previous year
decoratin' the tree with lights and
Recalling the act of decorating the Christmas tree with lights
hanging mistletoe
Remembering the tradition of hanging mistletoe
hot cider by the fire
Evoking a cozy scene with hot cider by the fire
your face all a glow
Describing the warmth and joy reflected in the partner's face
If I had one Christmas wish,
Expressing a hypothetical Christmas wish
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Desiring to reunite with the absent loved one
If I had just one christmas wish oh,
Reiterating the wish for a reunion
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Emphasizing the singular desire to see the person again
Oh Darlin'
Repeating the expression of affection
Christmas it wont be the same no no no, now that you're gone
Stating that Christmas is different without the person
my heart it still aches with pain whenever I hear our ole' favorite song
Expressing ongoing emotional pain and attachment to shared memories
slow dancing to the radio
Recalling moments of slow dancing to the radio
anytime it came on
Highlighting the significance of a particular song
you'd whisper in my ear as you
Describing an intimate moment of whispering while singing
softly sang along
Emphasizing the tenderness of shared moments
If I had one Christmas wish,
Repetition of the desire for a Christmas wish
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Reiterating the longing to see the person again
If I had just one christmas wish oh,
Emphasizing the singular focus on this particular wish
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Expressing the intense desire for a reunion
If I had one Christmas wish,
Repetition of the hypothetical Christmas wish
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Reiterating the deep longing to see the person again
If I had just one christmas wish oh,
Repetition of the singular focus on the Christmas wish
all I'd ask for is to see you again
Final repetition of the intense desire for a reunion
