[Verse 1: Justin]
Looking back on childhood days
I can't believe my foolish ways
I thought that Christmas only came from the store
Had to know what was there for me
Underneath the Christmas tree
I didn't know that there could be so much more
But in all of the rush
I was missin' so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah

[Chorus: All & Justin]
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
'Til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes

[Verse 2: JC]
Comin' home for the holidays
Seein' friends from around the way
There was always something missing for me
On a sleigh ride, caroling
Didn't really mean anything
Without that someone who can make it complete?
While the snow's falling down
There was joy all around
'Cause girl, your love has shown me the way

[Chorus: All & JC]
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
(Hey yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
'Til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes

[Interlude: All & Justin]
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la la la la la
(Singing la la la la la la la)
La la la la
Fa la la, fa la la
Fa la la la la la la
(Singing la la la la la la la)
La la la la

[Bridge: Justin]
But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see, yeah

[Chorus: All & Justin]
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til you came into my life
I was lost in the dark
'Til you opened my heart
Like an angel shining bright
I wished on a star
And girl, here you are
Suddenly I realize
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
That I never knew the meaning of Christmas
'Til I looked into your eyes
