Lyrics
CHRISTMAS WISH
If I could have one Christmas wish, I?d go back in time
When our children all were young and they were home with us
We?d decorate the house with lights. Put up the Christmas tree
Bake cookies, Sing Christmas carols in the neighborhood
Make gifts for the ones we love; wrap them really nice
Laugh, kiss and hug a lot. We?d have so much fun
I?d read the story of Jesus Christ. Born in Bethlehem.
In the manger we?d carefully lay the Savior in
Christmas eve we?d hold them tight; our hearts filled with love
Give thanks for our family, our special gift from God
We?d tuck them safely into bed; fill the stockings full
Peek in at our sleeping babes; Angels without wings
Eyes would sparkle Christmas morn. When dad turned on the lights
Santa left so many gifts. Cookies and milk were gone
Opening gifts was the best of all. Parcels ripped apart.
Finding their special wish. Jumping up and down.
I?d bake the turkey as they played with the toys they got
We?d feast together on food and love
What a heavenly day
The memories of those special days many years ago
Seem like only yesterday; life was filled with joy
If I could have one Christmas, I?d go back in time
When my children all were young and they were home with us
