這雖是一首傾訴抒發思念之情的歌,但聽來卻沒有濃濃的哀愁,有種介於悲喜之間的氛圍。
清亮的歌聲,反倒沖淡了悲和喜的鮮明曲調,有些聖誕時節的歡愉,又不會太過歡愉。
80年代和90年代男子偶像團體的始祖, 90年代初最红的美國青少年偶像團體「街頭頑童(New Kids on the Block)」所歌唱的這首歌,在聖誕時節聆聽別有一番興味!
歌名:I'll Be Missing You come Christmas (A Letter to Santa)      作詞:K. Nolan                            作曲:K. Nolan                            演唱:New Kids On The Block
Did you ever really start to cry                   Over something you just wrote?                  Well, I'm writing you, my dear Saint Nick               It's the saddest little note
Is it fair, come this Christmas Eve                  That I should be alone                      When he knows how much I'm missing her?            Would you kindly bring her home?
This boy's letter to Santa Claus                    It's gonna tear him up                       When he reads how much I'm missing her               It's gonna tear him up                        I'm sure if all his reindeers could arrange room on his sleigh      Then I'd receive a big bright package                And she'd be mine today
I'll be missing you come Christmas               Wishing hard, my dear                     Missing you come Christmas                  Wishing you were here
Did you ever really start to cry                   Over something that was said?                   Well, I'm writing you, dear Santa                    It would be the saddest thing you ever read
Is it fair, come this Christmas time                  That I should be without you?                     You know how much I need you, girl                Won't you kindly help me through?

I'll be missing you come Christmas               Wishing hard, my dear                     Missing you come Christmas                  Wishing you were here
Right above his V.I.P.                        We'll be ranking number one                     No sadder request will he receive                   He'll know it has to be done                      Oh, Santa, if you're my friend                    Please take heed, it's not pretend
