There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Crying for ma ma's arms
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
Where the forgotten are
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
And dream about the day When I can finally call you mine
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
So tonight I pray that
God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart
I wish you a Merry Christmas
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights
I'm warmed by the fire's glow
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white
And make angels in the snow
And half a world away you try
Your best to fight the tears
And hope that heaven's angels come
To carry you here
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
So tonight I pray that
God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart
I wish you a Merry Christmas
And Christmas is a time to celebrate the Holy Child
And we celebrate
His perfect gift of love
He came to us to give
His life and prepare a place for us
So we could have a home with Him above
Christmas time again and now you're home
Your family is here so you will never be alone
So tonight before you go to sleep
I'll hold you in my arms
And tell you from my heart
And I'll tell you from my heart
I wish you a Merry Christmas
Chorus:
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a Happy New Year
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
