For Love On Christmas Day
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Message of Eric Clapton's Christmas Ballad
Lyrics
Wrote myself a letter, I told myself a lie
Expressing the act of self-deception, writing a letter containing a falsehood.
That you'll be coming home soon
Falsely anticipating the return of a loved one.
And then your name I sigh
Sighing the loved one's name, possibly reflecting a yearning or emotional connection.
I read it every morning since you went away
Continuously reading the letter since the departure of the loved one.
I'm living in a dream world, dying a little more each day
Living in a fantasy, experiencing emotional decline each day due to the absence.
Wrote myself a love song, believing every word
Creating a love song for oneself, trusting in the sincerity of the lyrics.
Saying that you love me in melodies unheard
Believing in the expressed love through unheard melodies.
That you'll be coming back soon and forever you will stay
Expressing hope for the loved one's return, with the desire for a lasting presence.
I'm living in a dream world, dying a little more each day
Continuing to exist in a dream-like state, facing gradual emotional deterioration.
Snow is on the sidewalk, It's cold inside my heart
Using snow imagery to convey emotional coldness and loneliness.
I look up and I wonder, have I lost my guiding star
Questioning the loss of guidance or a significant connection.
And everything is white outside, how can it be so dark
Contrasting the external whiteness with internal darkness, reflecting inner turmoil.
Say a prayer and thank God, that your love is mine alone
Expressing gratitude for the exclusive nature of the love and acknowledging it as a blessing from God.
And never be another, who could grace our happy home
Affirming the uniqueness of the loved one and the sanctity of their shared home.
Pray on Christmas morning, that this time you will stay
Praying for a lasting presence of the loved one on Christmas morning.
But, I'm living in a dream world, dying a little more each day
Despite the prayer, recognizing the continued existence in a dream-like state and emotional decline.
Yes, I'm dying for love on Christmas day
Expressing a profound longing and emotional decline for love on Christmas day.
