One Last Christmas

Verse 1

It’s the news that no one hopes for, every parent's 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

They’ve been praying for a miracle

Now they're praying he can just hold on

Verse 2

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

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

Twenty-seventh of October, his time was wearing thin

Friends and family, even strangers

That they didn’t even know brought presents in

He was weak but he was smiling like there was nothing even wrong

They said he wouldn’t make it, looks like he got to see it after all

Repeat Chorus
