THE CHRISTMAS WISH

THE LITTLE BOY LOOKED SO SAD
SITTING THERE ON SANTA'S LAP
THE OLD MAN SMILED AND ASKED
"WHY ARE YOU SO BLUE"
THE BOY STARED AT THE FLOOR
SAID MY DAD WENT OFF TO WAR
AND LIFE AIN?T FUN NO MORE
SO I?M COUNTIN? ON YOU

(CHORUS)
PLEASE BRING MY DADDY HOME
ME AND MOM ARE ALL ALONE
AND SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT I CAN HEAR HER CRY
I REALLY MISS HIM TOO
AIN?T THERE SOMETHIN? YOU CAN DO
I DON?T WANT NOTHIN? ELSE BUT THIS
IT?S MY ONLY CHRISTMAS WISH

SANTA SAT AND STROKED HIS CHIN
SAID YOUR DAD, I REMEMBER HIM
BROUGHT HIM A TRAIN WHEN HE WAS TEN
HAVEN?T SEEN HIM IN WHILE
NOW MIRACLES HAPPEN IN MANY WAYS
ESPECIALLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY
BUT THIS IS GONNA TAKE SOME FAITH
THE LITTLE BOY JUST SMILED

(CHORUS)
SAID BRING MY DADDY HOME
ME AND MOM ARE ALL ALONE
SHE TOLD ME NOT TO ASK YOU?D ONLY LET US DOWN
BUT I BELIEVE IN YOU
LET HER SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO
SANTA WINKED AND WHISPERED THIS
THERE?S MAGIC IN A CHRISTMAS WISH

(BRIDGE)
THEN HALF A WORLD AWAY
A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY
HIS DAD?S COMMANDER GOT A NOTE
THAT A LITTLE BOY BACK HOME WROTE

(CHORUS)
PLEASE BRING MY DADDY HOME
ME AND MOM ARE ALL ALONE
AND SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT ALL WE DO IS CRY
SANTA SAID TO WRITE TO YOU
THAT YOU?D KNOW WHAT TO DO
AND HE SAID YOU?D REMEMBER THIS
THERE?S MAGIC IN A CHRISTMAS WISH
