|
It's the news that no one hopes for |
|
Every parent's greatest fear |
|
Finding out the child you love so much |
|
Might not make it through the year |
|
Now the thought of spending |
|
Christmas |
|
Without him just feels wrong |
|
They've been praying for a miracle |
|
Now they're praying he can just hold on |
|
For one last |
|
Christmas, one last time |
|
One last season when all the world is right |
|
One more telling of the story |
|
One more verse of silent night |
|
They'd give anything so he could have |
|
One last Christmas |
|
Middle of |
|
September |
|
Still seventy degrees |
|
Daddy climbs up in the attic |
|
Brings down candles |
|
Hangs the lights on all the trees |
|
Then the neighbors started asking |
|
And pretty soon word got around |
|
First it was the neighborhood |
|
Before too long they lit up that whole town |
|
For one last |
|
Christmas, one last time |
|
One last season when all the world is right |
|
One more telling of the story |
|
One more verse of silent night |
|
They'd give anything so he could have |
|
One last Christmas |
|
Twenty-seventh of |
|
October His time was wearing thin |
|
Friends and family, even strangers |
|
That they didn't even know |
|
Brought presents in |
|
He was weak but he was smiling |
|
Like there was nothing even wrong |
|
They said he wouldn't make it |
|
Looks like he got to see it after all |
|
One last Christmas, one last time |
|
One last season when all the world is right |
|
One more telling of the story |
|
One more verse of silent night |
|
They gave everything so he could have |
|
One last Christmas |
|
One last Christmas |
