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 so he could have One last Christmas One last Christmas
