Lyrics
It's that special time of year
Expressing the arrival of a special time, likely the holiday season.
It's all so full of cheer
Describing the festive atmosphere filled with joy and happiness.
And I'm waiting for love to be near
Anticipating the presence of love during this time.
The Children laugh and play
Highlighting the carefree and joyful activities of children.
The carolers always say
Referencing carolers spreading holiday wishes.
Have yourself a merry day
Encouraging others to have a joyful day.
Will you love me in time for Christmas
Pleading for assurance of love by Christmas.
Or will I be on my own
Expressing concern about the possibility of being alone.
Hanging stockings by the fire
Depicting the traditional act of hanging stockings for Christmas.
For Christmas
Reiterating the theme of Christmas solitude while singing carols.
Singing carols all alone
Yearning for a close connection under the mistletoe.
Hold me tight under mistletoe
Describing the mistletoe as hidden in the shadows of a lonely town.
That's hidden in the shadows
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities and regret.
Of this dark and lonely town
Addressing a past departure without a proper farewell.
You always say its never right
Recalling the partner's tendency to claim things are never right.
Well It could have been that night
Suggesting a missed chance for a positive turn of events.
But you left without a goodbye
Expressing the pain of a sudden departure without goodbyes.
Will you love me in time for Christmas
Reiterating the plea for love in time for Christmas.
Or will I be on my own
Expressing the fear of being alone during the holiday.
Hanging stockings by the fire
Revisiting the image of hanging stockings for Christmas.
For Christmas
Continuing the theme of singing carols alone.
Singing carols all alone
Emphasizing the loneliness despite others being together.
Every ones together
Expressing the hope of a loved one returning home.
And I'm still on my own
Yearning for a phone call and a reunion.
Would you ever pick up the phone
Repeating the plea for love in time for Christmas.
And come back home
Reiterating the fear of being alone during the holiday.
Will you love me in time for Christmas
Returning to the image of hanging stockings for Christmas.
Or will I be on my own
Continuing the theme of singing carols alone.
Hanging stockings by the fire
Repeating the plea for love in time for Christmas.
For Christmas
Expressing the fear of being alone during the holiday.
Singing carols all alone
Reiterating the theme of singing carols alone.
Will you love me in time for Christmas
Concluding with a final plea for love by Christmas.
