What Christmas Means to Me by Stevie Wonder Lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, yeah
Candles burnin’ low
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singin’ carols
Right outside my door

All these things and more (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me, my love) whoa, yeah
Yeah

And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin’ face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
The little cards you’ll give me
Will touch my heart for sure

All these things and more, darling (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love) oh, yeah, I

I feel like runnin’ wild (runnin’ wild)
As anxious as a little child
Greet you ‘neath the mistletoe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby (wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
Whoa, and such happiness in the comin’ year
Oh, baby (happiness in the comin’ year)

Let’s deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill the tree with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight

And all these things and more, baby (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love) oh, baby, baby

Candles burnin’ low
Lots and lots of snow (alright)
Christmas bells are ringin’
Christmas choirs singin’
Christmas mistletoe
