[English]

This goes out to you an' yours

Got my family gathered 'round

Old friends comin' back in town

Snow fallin' on the ground

Sweet sounds of December (Sounds of December)

Somethin' 'bout this time of year

All the good times and the cheer

All I need is right here

Look around and remember (Look around and remember)

Got so many reasons

To be thankful in this season

There's no silver or gold

That could ever come close

To what this means to me

I got all I need for Christmas

Singin' joy to the world

Sweeter than diamonds or pearls

If I'm with family

I got all I need

All I need for Christmas (Ah)

...

There's no better place to be

Than rockin' 'round that Christmas tree (Yes, sir)

On the stereo

The sweet sounds of December

Every song reminds us why

Love came wrapped up as a child

More than a holiday

It's the birth of a Savior

Got so many reasons

To be thankful in this season

There's no silver or gold

That could ever come close

To what this means to me

I got all I need for Christmas

Singin' joy to the world

Sweeter than diamonds or pearls

If I'm with family

I got all I need

All I need for Christmas (Ah)

So, everybody, everybody, gather around

It's only once a year that we're all in town

And I don't wanna miss this moment

I don't wanna miss it

We could sing together, we could sing it loud

We can reminisce in what it's all about

And I don't wanna miss this moment

I don't wanna miss it, hey

There's no silver or gold (No, no)

That could ever come close (Ever come close)

To what this means to me (To what this means to me, oh)

I got all I need for Christmas (Ayy ayy)

Singin' joy to the world (Joy to the world)

Sweeter than diamonds or pearls

If I'm with family (If I'm with family)

I got all I need

All I need for Christmas (Oh oh woah ah oh)

Do do do do do do do do do

I got all I need for Christmas

I got all I need

All I need for Christmas
