Lyrics
Lonely days and restless nights
Expressing feelings of isolation and restlessness during lonely days and nights.
Wishing you were here by my side
Longing for the presence of a loved one to be beside the speaker.
Now all that I have is a photograph, yeah
Holding onto a photograph as the only tangible connection to the absent person.
Throughout the day I dream of you
Daydreaming about the absent person throughout the day.
And some days I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion and a sense of helplessness on some days.
Tell me what would it take
Pleading for information on what it would take for the person to return.
For you to come home
An urgent plea for the person to come home.
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you, yeah
Expressing a desire for the person as the primary Christmas wish.
All I want for Christmas is you
Reiteration of the sole desire for the person for Christmas.
Come home, meet me under the mistletoe
Inviting the person to meet under the mistletoe, a symbol of romance.
Didn't see things from your point of view
Admitting a lack of understanding from the speaker's perspective, leading to the loss of the person.
That's how I ended up losing you
Reflecting on the consequences of not seeing things from the person's point of view.
Heard you buy just wasn't hearing you
Acknowledging a failure to listen and comprehend, resulting in the person's departure.
And now you're gone
Expressing the absence of the person after a misunderstanding.
Despite the gifts underneath my tree
Despite material gifts, recognizing that the person is the most significant gift.
The perfect gift would be you and me
Stating that a reunion with the person would be the perfect Christmas gift.
Tell me what would I have to
Pleading again and asking what actions are necessary for the person to return.
Do for you to come home
Reiterating the desire for the person to come home.
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
Repeating the central Christmas wish for the person to be present.
All I want for Christmas is you
Restating the primary desire for the person during Christmas.
Come home, meet me under the mistletoe
Inviting the person to meet under the mistletoe once again.
Oh, Christmas ain't the same without you, oh
Highlighting that Christmas feels incomplete without the presence of the person.
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you, yeah
Reiterating the central theme of wanting the person for Christmas.
All I want for Christmas is you
Repeating the primary Christmas wish for the person to be present.
Come home, yeah, meet me under the mistletoe
Issuing another invitation for the person to come home under the mistletoe.
