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 through the year
Now the thought of spending
Christmas
Without him just feels wrong
Theyve been praying for a miracle
Now theyre 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
Theyd 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
Theyd 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 didnt even know
Brought presents in
He was weak but he was smiling
Like there was nothing even wrong
They said he wouldnt 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 sohe could have
One last Christmas
One last Christmas
