All I Want for Christmas Is You

Music and lyrics by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh baby all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you
(Repeat until fade)

아이튠즈덕에 이젠 연말만 되면 UK 싱글 차트에 올라오는 시대의 캐럴. (응?)
정작 94년 당시에는 판매용 싱글을 발매한 게 아니어서 빌보드 싱글 차트에는 들어가지 못했다. (에어플레이만으로도 차트에 오를 수 있게는 99년에 개정)
하지만 워낙 라디오에서 자주 나와서 2005년에는 만약 차트에 들어갈 자격이 되었다면 6위까지 올라갔을 거라고 빌보드지가 밝히기도 했다. 그 뒤로도 연말이 되면 벨소리로 불티나게 팔려나간다.
