The song was written on 12/23/01 by Rick Cooper and John
Schwab. It was performed for the first time by John Schwab live
on the radio the following day. The song was inspired by the
events of September 11, 2001. The video was made in December of
2009 as a tribute to the men and women in uniform who serve our
country around the world.
Lyrics
It's that time of year again
Make a list and check it twice
Try to find the perfect gift
No matter what the price
But you don't have to spend a dime on me
To make my dreams come true
'Cause all I want for Christmas
Is to wrap my arms around you
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
The world seems like such a crazy place
Not like it used to be
These past few months have made me stop and think
What means the most to me
Like being with the ones I love
And livin' a life that's true
And all these things mean so much more
When I wrap my arms around you
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
Sitting by the fireside a snowy Christmas eve
I see the magic in your eyes, the only gift I'll ever need
So forget the fancy paper, the bows and ribbons too
'Cause all I want for Christmas is to wrap my arms around you
