For all the years of his life
He’s had a family at home
A mom and dad to love and last his whole life through
But now things are not the same
And every day he feels the pain
As he’s longing for his weekend ronde view
But as the holidays approach in time
He wrestles with his heart
He sits alone and prays each night as though
His world has fallen apart
He looks up at the sky and say’s
Can you do this for me
I need my daddy home tonight
Tonight it’s Christmas Eve
And what I’d give to see my momma kissing Santa Clause
We’d sing songs around the fire and Christmas tree
Forget the list I made
The times I prayed,
If you’ll do this for me
I need my daddy home tonight
Tonight it’s Christmas Eve.
Well the sun is sitting low
And the snow begins to fall
It’s just like a Christmas night should be
He hears a knock upon the door
He starts running down the hall
Cause he knows inside just who it gonna be
Well standing in the cold and all alone
He sees his daddy smile
He jumps in his arms to hold him close
And love him for awhile
He looks up at the sky and says
Did you do this for me
Yeah I’ve got my daddy home tonight
Tonight it’s Christmas Eve
And tonight I’ll see my momma kissing Santa Claus
We’ll sing songs around the fire and Christmas tree
Forget the list I made
The times I prayed
Since you’ve done this for me
Yeah I’ve got my daddy home tonight
Tonight it’s Christmas Eve
Yeah I’ve got my daddy home tonight
Tonight it’s Christmas Eve
