I don't want a lot for Christmas

There's just one thing I read

I don't care about presents

Underneath the Christmas free

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever snow

Make my wish come two...

All I want for Christmas

Is true...

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I feel

I don't care about presents

Underneath the Christmas free

I don't need to hang my talking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas rain

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever snow

Make my wish come two

All I want for Christmas is true...

You baby

I won't ask for hug this Christmas

I won't even wish for know

I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and spend it

To the North Pole for Saint Bill

I won't ever stay awake to

Bear those magic reindeer click'

Cause I just want you there tonight

Holding on to me so fly

What more can I do

Baby all I want for Christmas is true

You...

All the lights are singing

So brightly everyyear

And the cloud of children's

Laughter fills the hair

And everyone is shining

I head those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you drink me the one I really cheep

Won't you please bring my baby come...

Oh I don't want a got for Christmas

This is all I'm fasting for

I just want to free baby

Standing bright outside my wall

Oh I just want Jim for my own

More than you could never want

Make my wish come you

Baby all I know for Christmas is You...

All I want for Christmas is you baby...[Repeat]

Take my hand ...
We can run so far
We can change the ... to anything we want
We can talk for ... just staring at the ...
They shine down to show us

That...

[Chorus:]

You know when the sun forgets to ...
I'll be there to hold you through the ...
And we'll be running so fast we can fly ...
And even when we're ... and miles apart
You're still holding all of my ...
I promise it will never be dark
I know..we're ...

We could run ... if you wanted to
And I would not get ...
Because I'd be with you
I keep singing this ... until the very end
We have done all these ...

[Chorus]

I would give it ...
Never let you ...
Cause you know we're ...
I would give it all
Just to show you I'm in love
Cause you know we're inseparable

[Chorus]

all stars shine fall inseparable night tonight miles heart inseparable forever Tonight tired song world things hours

4th ESO Grammar Corner - Modal verbs

Modal verbs always seem to cause headaches for some students. What's the difference between must and have to...why doesn't don't have to mean the same as mustn't....?? Sometimes it's a good idea to try to understand modal verbs from a functional point of view rather than purely grammatical. With this in mind, 4th ESO have prepared the following post. I hope it goes some way to clearing up any doubts you may have.
