This time of year, I'd like to remember
The gifts of cheer to put under the tree
Sharing the things that make the December
Here is my list for you, just from me

All I want for Christmas, a friend that sparkles
And snow thats light on the ground
Children with frost in their hair
Presents around everywhere

I hope you don't think that I'm square
Just because I've seen Santa, hey

All I want for Christmas are people smiling
And love to go all around
And if I might insist, I'd like to make one wish
May I share this Christmas with you?

I've done my shopping, stuffed all my stockings
Filled up my heart to the brim
Topping my list of so much to do
Is sharing my wish of joy just for you

All I want for Christmas are people smiling
And love to go all around
And if I might insist, I'd like to make just one wish

May I, baby
Tell me can I
You know what I want little girl
Why don't you let me
What I mean baby
Just the two of us

May I spend this Christmas with you?
