*NSYNC › Lyrics › I Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas

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

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

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

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

But in all of the rush
I was missing so much
Girl, you made me finally see

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
