Merry Christmas is the
first Christmas album, and the fourth studio album, by American singer and
songwriter Mariah Carey. Released by Columbia Records on November 1, 1994, the
album features cover versions of popular Christmas tunes and original material.
Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she wrote all of the original
tracks, as well as producing Carey's interpretations of the covered material.
The album contains a contemporary holiday theme, and featured "authentic, gospel
flavored background vocals". Three singles were released from the album,
of which "All I Want for Christmas Is You" went on to become one of
the best-selling singles of all time.
Merry Christmas was
released at the peak of the initial stretch of Carey's career, between Music
Box (1993) and Daydream (1995). The album produced "All I Want for
Christmas Is You", which became the best-selling holiday ringtone in the
US. The album has sold 5.5 million copies in the United States as of December
2015 according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has been certified quintuple Platinum by
the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has sold 15 million copies
worldwide and is the best-selling Christmas album of all time.
I
don't want a lot for Christmas
There
is just one thing I need
I
don't care about the presents
Underneath
the Christmas tree
I
just want you for my own
More
than you could ever know
Make
my wish come true
All
I want for Christmas
Is
you, you, yeah
I
don't want a lot for Christmas
There
is just one thing I need
And
I don't care about the presents
Underneath
the Christmas tree
I
don't need to hang my stocking
There
upon the fireplace
Santa
Claus won't make me happy
With
a toy on Christmas Day
I
just want you for my own
More
than you could ever know
Make
my wish come true
All
I want for Christmas is you
You,
baby
Oh,
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I
won't even wish for snow
And
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath
the mistletoe
I
won't make a list and send it
To
the North Pole for Saint Nick
I
won't even stay awake to
Hear
those magic reindeer click
'Cause
I just want you here tonight
Holding
on to me so tight
What
more can I do?
Baby,
all I want for Christmas is you
You,
baby
Oh,
all the lights are shining
So
brightly everywhere
And
the sound of children's
Laughter
fills the air
And
everyone is singing
I
hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa,
won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't
you please bring my baby to me?
Oh,
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This
is all I'm asking for
I
just want to see my baby
Standing
right outside my door
Oh,
I just want you for my own
More
than you could ever know
Make
my wish come true
Baby,
all I want for Christmas is
You,
you, baby
All
I want for Christmas is you, baby
All
I want for Christmas is you, baby
All
I want for Christmas is you, baby
All
I want for Christmas is you, baby.
