SONGS : LYRICS : I WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS

 

I WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS

(SECULAR VERSION)

Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS

 

Again it’s here,

That time of year

When countless coloured lights appear.

 

And for a while

They’ll make me smile

Until the season’s out of style.

 

I WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS,

Not the tinsel and lights.

All the gifts you got for me

Don’t do a lot for me tonight.

 

I WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS,

Just you can make it bright.

Ev’ry word you say to me

Is a bouquet to me tonight

 

 “Merry Christmas!”

Whisper this in my ear.

Let me know

Why mistletoe is here.

 

The north wind blows,

It snows and snows,

The carols play,

The fire glows;

 

There’s Christmas cake

For old time’s sake,

But oh, the diff’rence

You would make.

 

I WANT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS

And ev’ry Christmas, too!

Give me Christmas memories—

Radiant memories of you!

 

 “Merry Christmas!”

Whisper this in my ear.

Let me know

Why mistletoe is here

Each year.
