Kelly Clarkson - When Christmas Comes Around... Album Lyrics

Merry Christmas Baby

You let flowers say I love you
You let diamonds hold my hand
So this Christmas I'm making new plans
(Merry Christmas, baby)

You send gifts that someone else picked (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You send cards with empty promises
But you don't need to worry 'bout me again
(Merry Christmas, baby)

You wake up all alone and (ah)
Wonder why I'm not home and
I let my phone ring

A dose of your kind of love and (ah)
I'll let my absence show you
What I got you for Christmas
Is losing me

Merry Christmas, baby

You can have just what you gave me (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You can keep the charm and lies
And you can keep your wondering hands and eyes

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah)
(Ooh )
(Merry Christmas, baby)

You wake up all alone and
Wonder why I'm not home and
I let my phone ring (I let it ring)

A dose of your kind of love and (ah)
I'll let my absence show you
What I got you for Christmas
Is losing me

Merry Christmas, baby

So have yourself a Merry Christmas (ooh
Hope it's not as cold as you (cold as you)
Merry Christmas, baby (merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas, baby (merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas, baby (merry Christmas)
To you

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonnie and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow (snow, snow, snow, snow)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

Soon the bells will start
Right within your heart, right within your heart

Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)

(Woo, oh yeah baby)

Out in the cold
Standing where the trees meet the road
This used to be our favorite spot in this town
Memories of you and me ruin it now (ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa)
That's where we met
Like a winter dream in my bed
I wasn't the first and I won't be the last
Underneath that mistletoe, you've been so bad (ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa)

You ruined all my favorite things (all my favorite things)
But you won't take Christmas from me

I'll be hanging every light I find in this house
Playing Christmas music so loud
This year, Christmas won't be quite so blue
And I'm gonna shop too much and dance in the snow
Drink just enough to let us go
Christmas isn't canceled, just you

Lost at first
Thinking that I might be cursed
Winter wonderlands weren't made for one
So we've all been told since we were young (ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa)

But I'm not feeling incomplete (feeling incomplete)
Turns out I don't need a thing underneath my tree

I'll be hanging every light I find in this house
Playing Christmas music so loud
This year, Christmas won't be quite so blue
And I'm gonna shop too much and dance in the snow
Drink just enough to let us go
Christmas isn't canceled, just you

Christmas, without you is still fun
Christmas, and when the New Year comes
Don't you worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
Baby, by New Year's night, ooh

I'll be ringing in the new year with all my friends
Kissing goodbye to what might have been
This year, New Year's I won't be your fool
And I bet you see me out wondering what's wrong
Watching me have fun with you gone
But New Year's isn't canceled, Christmas isn't canceled
Just you

Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Just you
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Just you
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Just you
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Just you
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Christmas isn't canceled
Just you
Christmas isn't canceled

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Jingle jingle
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Jingle all the way (ooh)

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday (jingle jingle)
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new (new) old (old) fashioned (fashioned) way
(the new old, the new old, old fashioned way)

Glow

(Three, four)

You're the only one, only one I got my eyes on
And I don't need, I don't need but a second then I'm gone
But when the snow starts fallin', Christmas ain't far
And I feel it
In my heart, in my bones, you're the secret I hold
Can you keep it?
If you ever need me, if you find yourself alone
Christmas is a season, lights like you glow on and on

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Oh, record spinning as I'm dreaming about how to get you alone
A little wine, slow dancing, making memories with mistletoe
Did you know that I thought about telling you a hundred times before?
And I'm standing here handing you my heart 'cause I couldn't wait anymore
I could make you laugh, I would never let you down
My list in the past, for Santa isn't different now

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Glow, glow, glow

Did you know, did you know
Christmas can't compete with your (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Did you know, did you know (glow)
Just so you know

Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be
Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me
When it gets cold is when I notice the most
With all the lights on the trees
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow
It's a shame you can't see
Even Christmas can't compete with your glow

Santa Baby

Santa baby
Slip a sable under the tree for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight
Tonight, oh

Santa baby
An outer space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh-so good
If you check off my check off my Christmas list
Ba doop-e doo

Santa honey
I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight
Tonight, oh

Santa cutie
There's one thing that I really do need
The deed to a platinum mine
Santa cutie
And hurry down the chimney tonight
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) oh

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me to
Ba doo-e doo

Santa baby
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
And I don't mean a phone

Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) oh
Tonight, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tonight

Santa, Can't You Hear Me

Keep the snow and sleigh rides
Keep those silver bells
Keep the gifts beneath the tree
Give them to someone else
Keep that magic snowman
Keep those twinkly lights
Keep the reindeer
My heart already knows how to fly

'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, oh
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you, ooh, ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, yeah, yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I've been so blue
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe)
A love, sweet love is what I need (what I need)
Santa, can't you hear me?

Keep those bows and boxes (keep them bows and them boxes)
Keep those three wise men
No need for a North star
To show me where I will land

'Cause all I ever wanted
Isn't on a shelf there
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh (ooh yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you, ooh, ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, oh, yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I've been so blue
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (Keep the mistletoe)
A love, sweet love is what I need
Oh Santa, can't you hear me?

'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, oh

There's one thing that I need
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you, ooh, ooh (you, ooh, ooh)
On how to make my dreams come true, oh, yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I've been so blue
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe
A love, sweet love is what I need
Oh Santa, can't you hear me?

Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Ooh, do do do do
Ooh
Ooh

"Merry Christmas " I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it (I love you, I meant it)
Now, I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'm giving it to someone special

But last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'm giving it to someone special (ooh)

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time it's a swell time
To go glidin' in a one horse sleigh

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away (rock the night away)
Jingle bell time, it's a swell time
To go glidin' in a one horse sleigh

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell (jingle, jingle)
That's the jingle bell (jingle, jingle)
That's the jingle bell rock (that's the jingle bell rock)

Blessed

It's quite all around the only sound here in the silence
Are the snowflakes falling down
Just like glitter on the ground
Another year has come around
Got me thinking back about the times
When I had nothing but big dreams filling my head
That were hanging by a thread
That fueled desire in my chest

But I'm blessed
Looking in the eyes of my children
Blessed
Surrounded by the love I've been given
Blessed
Don't want to take a moment for granted
Sometimes it's so easy to forget
To be grateful for the life I've been living
I'm learning to have faith in forgiving
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens
Just so I remember that I'm blessed (ooh)

Here we are together, taking time for one another
Underneath the Christmas tree
Sweeter than a symphony
It means everything to me
Sharing all our stories of our failures and glories
Even when our hopes got torn
We made it through the storm
And I couldn't ask for more

'Cause I'm blessed (oh)
Looking in the eyes of my children
Blessed
Surrounded by the love I've been given
Blessed
Don't want to take a moment for granted
Sometimes it's so easy to forget
To be grateful for the life I've been living
I'm learning to have faith in forgiving
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens
When I'm down and I'm lost and I'm tired
When it feels like the whole world is on fire
Close my eyes and imagine a choir

Even when I feel like a mess
Have to take a good look inside me, yes
In the hurts where I found the Holy
I guess, I'll never be perfect
But I try my best to remember

I'm blessed
Looking in the eyes of my children
Surrounded by the love I've been given
Don't want to take a moment for granted
Sometimes it's so easy to forget
To be grateful for the life I've been living
I'm learning to have faith in forgiving
Sometimes I lift my heart to the heavens
Just so I remember
That I'm blessed

Christmas Come Early

Candles burning out at both ends
I don't miss the crowds just my friends
Seems like everybody needs a little bit of cheer
Christmas won't you please come early this year

I don't need the snow, I'm already cold
Tired of the songs on the radio
I can't hear the harmony or see the midnight clear
Christmas won't you please come early this year
Christmas won't you please come early this year

Running out of faith need a little help
I could use a break from myself
Bells are in the distance but they're getting hard to hear
Christmas won't you please come early this year

I need something to believe in
I need something to believe in
I need something to believe in
Something to believe in

Just a little peace for my family
Joy that fills the streets like a remedy
For everyone around the world who needs a little cheer
Christmas won't you please come early this year
Christmas won't you please come early
Come early this year

Under the Mistletoe

[Kelly Clarkson]
Every time I look around this room
My eyes they tend to fall on you and I confess
Nothing but you makes sense
Memories fill my heart and I can barely keep my tears
From fallin', oh I want your love
Do you ever think of us?

Is it too late, too late, to open up?
I'm dyin' to say, oh how I love you
You're workin' towards me now
What am I gonna say?

Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Hеre under the mistlеtoe

[Kelly Clarkson & Brett Eldredge]
All I want, hey, yeah
All I want, hey-hey, yeah
All I want, hey, yeah
Is under the mistletoe

[Brett Eldredge & Kelly Clarkson]
Oh everything I try to keep you from gettin' inside
Works until I see your face
I linger hopin' you might stay
Wrapped up in your arms, is where
I wanna spend my nights so hard, how much I want you
Do you think of us?
How I want your love

[Kelly Clarkson & Brett Eldredge]
Is it too late, too late
To let you know, I can't quite escape
How much I need you
You're workin' towards me now
What am I gonna say?

Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe

All I want, hey, yeah (All I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey-hey, yeah (All I really, really ever want)
All I want, hey, yeah (All I really, really ever want)
Is under the mistletoe

You're walkin' towards me now
Won't you read my mind somehow (Oh, oh, oh)
Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe
And indecision take a breath as I

Push my pride aside
When I close my eyes
It's just you and I
Here under the mistletoe
Magic fills the air
Standin' over there (Standin' over there)
Santa hear my prayer
Here under the mistletoe

'Cause all I want, hey, yeah (All I really, really ever want)

Is you (Oh it's only you), is you
Oh, oh, oh, oh woah

All I Want for Christmas is You

Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on strings
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing

I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue (oh, oh, oh)
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree (ah, ha, ah)
You are my dream come true (true)
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

(Oh, ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah, ah
(Oh, ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

Oh, you are the angel atop my tree (ah, ha, ah)
You are my dream come true (true)
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
All I want for Christmas is you

Christmas Eve

I'm hearing sleigh bells
I'm seeing snow
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside
Twinkling lights
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night

All the lights, all of the fun, all of us here, all of us one
Only a gift, only a toy, only for a good girl and boy
The greatest party you ever did see

I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all of those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night

All of the laughs, all of the dreams, all of the songs, all of us sing
Only a wish, only a star, only a leap from where you are
For those who believe on Christmas Eve

I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all of those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night

A party for you, and for me
A party for a magical scene
Ain't no party like Christmas Eve

I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night
