(Verse 1) The snow is starting to fall outside my window pane The radio is playing that old familiar refrain People are rushing by with packages piled high But I’m just sitting here, watching the winter sky The tree is standing tall, the ornaments are in place But something’s missing from this holiday space I don’t care about the boxes tied with shiny bows I’m just longing for the one love that truly knows. (Chorus) 'Cause all I want for Christmas is Mom To hear your gentle voice, to feel so safe and calm I don’t need the silver, I don’t need the gold Just the warmest hands I ever got to hold The house is full of lights, but the brightest one is gone Yeah, all I want for Christmas is Mom. (Verse 2) I walked past the kitchen and thought I smelled your spice Remembered how you’d smile and tell me to be nice You’d play the holiday music, dancing on the floor And now I’m just wishing you’d walk through that front door They ask me what I’m wishing for this year I swallow back the ache, I hide a heavy tear Because the only thing that could make this season bright Is sitting on the sofa with you tonight. (Chorus) 'Cause all I want for Christmas is Mom To hear your gentle voice, to feel so safe and calm I don’t need the silver, I don’t need the gold Just the warmest hands I ever got to hold The house is full of lights, but the brightest one is gone Yeah, all I want for Christmas is Mom. (Bridge) They say the holiday spirit is all around But it’s hard to find when your love can’t be found I’ll hang your stocking up right where it used to be And send a little prayer above the Christmas tree. (Guitar Solo / Emotional Instrumental Meltdown) (Chorus) 'Cause all I want for Christmas is Mom To hear your gentle voice, to feel so safe and calm I don’t need the silver, I don’t need the gold Just the warmest hands I ever got to hold The house is full of lights, but the brightest one is gone Yeah, all I want for Christmas... Oh, all I want for Christmas... is Mom. (Outro) Just one more hug. Just one more "I love you." Merry Christmas, Mom. I miss you.
