| [00:13.03] |
There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn |
| [00:22.44] |
Crying for ma ma's arms |
| [00:26.33] |
At an orphanage just outside a little China town |
| [00:36.23] |
Where the forgotten are |
| [00:40.95] |
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire |
| [00:47.53] |
And dream about the day When I can finally call you mine |
| [00:53.48] |
It's Christmas time again but you're not home |
| [01:01.32] |
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone |
| [01:07.57] |
So tonight I pray that |
| [01:09.72] |
God will come and hold you in his arms |
| [01:16.35] |
And tell you from my heart |
| [01:20.27] |
I wish you a Merry Christmas |
| [01:28.41] |
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights |
| [01:37.11] |
I'm warmed by the fire's glow |
| [01:42.22] |
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white |
| [01:50.76] |
And make angels in the snow |
| [01:55.19] |
And half a world away you try |
| [01:59.51] |
Your best to fight the tears |
| [02:02.60] |
And hope that heaven's angels come |
| [02:06.10] |
To carry you here |
| [02:09.82] |
It's Christmas time again but you're not home |
| [02:16.62] |
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone |
| [02:23.11] |
So tonight I pray that |
| [02:25.27] |
God will come and hold you in his arms |
| [02:31.69] |
And tell you from my heart |
| [02:35.01] |
I wish you a Merry Christmas |
| [02:40.20] |
And Christmas is a time to celebrate the Holy Child |
| [02:47.16] |
And we celebrate |
| [02:49.17] |
His perfect gift of love |
| [02:54.48] |
He came to us to give |
| [02:56.60] |
His life and prepare a place for us |
| [03:01.26] |
So we could have a home with Him above |
| [03:07.50] |
Christmas time again and now you're home |
| [03:14.73] |
Your family is here so you will never be alone |
| [03:20.49] |
So tonight before you go to sleep |
| [03:24.95] |
I'll hold you in my arms |
| [03:29.58] |
And tell you from my heart |
| [03:36.89] |
And I'll tell you from my heart |
| [03:40.77] |
I wish you a Merry Christmas |
| [05:24.02] |
