[Verse 1]
Oh yeah
Candles burning low
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singing carols
Right outside my door

[Chorus]
All these things and more
(all these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(that's what Christmas means to me my love)

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

[Chorus]
All these things and more, darling
(all these things and more, darling)
Whoa
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(that's what Christmas means to me my love)

[Verse 3]
Oh yeah ha ha
I feel like running wild
(Running 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)
And such happiness in the coming year
(Happiness in the coming year)
Oh baby
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

[Chorus]
All these things and more, baby
(all these things and more, baby)
Whoa
That's what Christmas means to me my love
(that's what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh baby baby

[Outro]
Yeah
Candles burning low
Lots and lots of snow
Alright
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas choirs singing
Coo
Christmas mistletoe

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
