You're All I Want For Christmas
Al Martino · A Merry Christmas [1993]
All I want my whole life through
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I with you
You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true
Then I'll awake on Christmas mornin'
And find my stocking filled with you
(You're all I want for Christmas)
(All I want my whole life through)
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I with you
(You're all I want for Christmas)
(And if all my dreams come true)
Then I'll awake on Christmas mornin'
And find my stocking filled with you
(And find my stocking filled with you)
