Lyrics
It's cold outside
Expressing the cold weather outside.
And you're somewhere
Acknowledging the absence of knowledge about the current location.
I don't know
Emphasizing uncertainty about the person's whereabouts.
But it's been about a decade or so
Indicating a considerable time has passed since the last encounter.
When I last saw you
Recalling the last sighting of the person.
And I dream about the good times when we had no doubt
Reflecting on carefree times in the past.
Not a care in the world I was your girl and we had it made
Nostalgic about a time when there were no worries, and they were in a relationship.
So merry Christmas wherever you are
Sending Christmas wishes to the absent person.
I hope you think of me when you see the stars
Expressing a hope that the person remembers the speaker during the holiday.
And if you do know that I'm not that far
Assuring closeness despite physical distance.
Merry Christmas wherever you are
Reiterating Christmas wishes and thoughts about the person's location.
I don't have a tree
Not having a traditional Christmas tree and improvising.
Ao I decorated my TV
Describing the alternative decoration on the TV.
And it looks real good at night with all the lights
Highlighting the pleasing appearance of the improvised decoration at night.
I wish you could see
Expressing a wish for the absent person to see the Christmas setup.
So Merry Christmas wherever you are
Repeating Christmas wishes and thoughts about the person's location.
I hope you think of me when you see the stars
Reiterating the hope that the person remembers the speaker during the holiday.
And if you do know that I'm not that far
Reassuring closeness despite physical distance.
Merry Christmas wherever you are
Repeating Christmas wishes and thoughts about the person's location.
The snow is falling and nobody is calling me to say hello
Describing a silent and snowy Christmas without communication.
So I sit and think of the coulda wouldas
Reflecting on missed opportunities and questioning the departure.
Why'd you have to go
Expressing sadness and solitude due to the person's departure.
Leaving me all alone.
Stating the impact of being left alone.
So Merry Christmas wherever you are
Repeating Christmas wishes in the context of loneliness.
I hope you think of me when you see the stars and if you do know that I'm not that far
Reiterating the hope that the person remembers the speaker during the holiday.
Merry Christmas wherever you are
Emphasizing closeness despite physical distance in the holiday season.
