[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]Chorus:
[05:24.02]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:26.23]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:28.14]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:30.67]And a Happy New Year
[05:33.00]Good tidings we bring
[05:34.50]To you and your kin
[05:37.08]Good tidings for Christmas
[05:39.76]And a Happy New Year
[05:41.76]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:43.40]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:46.00]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[05:48.27]And a Happy New Year
[05:50.63]Good tidings we bring
[05:52.68]To you and your kin
[05:55.06]Good tidings for Christmas
[05:57.53]And a Happy New Year
[05:58.86]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[06:01.52]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[06:03.48]We wish you a Merry Christmas
[06:05.60]And a Happy New Year
