One Last Christmas

Its the news that no one hopes for
Every parents greatest fear
Finding out the child you love so much might not make it throught the year
Now the thought of spending christmas
Without him just feels wrong
They’ve been praying for a miracle, now there prayin he can just hold on
For one last christmas, one last time
One last season when the world is right
One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night
They would give anything so he could have
One last christmas
Middle of september
Still 70 degrees
Daddy climbs up in the attic, brings down candles, hangs the light up on the
tree
Then the neighbors started asking
And pretty soon word got around
First it was the neighborhood, before to long they lit up that whole town
For one last christmas, one last time
One last season when the world is right
One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night
They would give anything so he could have
One last christmas
27th of october
His time was wearin 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 wrong
They said he wouldn’t make it, looks like he got to see it after all
For one last christmas, one last time
One last season when the world is right
One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night
They would give anything so he could have
One last christmas
One last christmas
