My Only Wish This Year
Last night I took a walk in the snow
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?
I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off, it just said this
I know exactly what I want this year
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
He’ll be all my own in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
Christmas Eve, I just can’t sleep
Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
‘Cause I heard that you’re coming to town
Santa, can you hear me?
I really hope that you’re on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Oh, please make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby (oh)
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
We’ll be all the love under the mistletoe
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
I hope my letter reaches you in time, oh yeah
Bring me love I can call all mine, oh yeah yeah
‘Cause I have been so good, so good this year
Can’t be alone under the mistletoe
He’s all I want in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here, oh yeah
Santa, that’s my only wish this year (ah)
Oh, Santa! (ah)
Can you hear me? (ah)
Oh, Santa (ah)
Well, he’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here, oh yeah
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
Santa, that’s my only wish this year

Om julesangen My Only Wish This Year
“My Only Wish (This Year)” blev indspillet af Britney Spears og udgivet i 2000. Den blev skrevet af Brian Kierulf og Josh Schwartz, så Spears er sangens kunstner, ikke den eneste eller oprindelige komponist. Den hører til popjulens sange om ønsker og forelskelse.
Fortælleren kan forestille sig mange julegaver, men samler sit egentlige ønske om at få en bestemt person tæt på. Den livlige produktion og det ligefremme omkvæd gør følelsen let at synge med på. Julemanden og decemberens forventning bruges som ramme om en romantisk historie.
Sangen passer til festlige playlister og til perioden før juleaften, hvor ønskelister og håb fylder. Den viser, hvordan et klassisk julemotiv kan blive til en popsang om kærlighed uden at miste forbindelsen til højtiden. Når omkvædet gentager ønsket, flytter fokus sig fra julemandens gaver til en relation, og det gør sangen let at placere blandt julens romantiske pophits.
