Lyrics

Once upon a time this was my favorite season
Started thinking bout it barely into fall
Trying to find that special little something
Was my favorite part of all
How I wish that I was doing that right now

This is my wish, my wish for Christmas
This is my prayer, my prayer to God

I had never planned to be so far away
That?s not something that I?d do on my own
When my country called I had to do my duty
Like my daddy did in the last war
We can only hope that it will soon be over

This is my wish, my wish for Christmas
This is my prayer, my prayer to God
Deep in the night, it hurts the deepest
On Christmas Eve, it?s twice as bad

In the morning when I open up my eyes
I know you?ll be the first thing on my mind
Hoping that the present that I sent
It will be the best gift you could find

When the fighting?s done and the war is through
I just hope that God will send me home to you
I can almost feel the softness of your skin
As I reach out and touch your teary face
And I?ll never have to go away again

This is my wish, my wish for Christmas
This is my prayer, my prayer to God
Back in your arms, to stay forever
This is my wish, my wish for Christmas
