David Spencer Marsh A Christmas Wish
Vere One:
She stands there at the bottom of the stairway..
as her momma races down..with the lights..
Excited 'bout the time of year..her heart is filled with Christmas cheer...'cause she knows Santa Claus..comes tonight..
And he'll bring that special present..
She's been waiting for so long..
He's gonna bring her daddy home...
Verse Two:
With tinsel in her hair..she smiles and she stairs at the angel..
As it shines..
Momma doesn't know it, oh but in a couple hours she's gonna laugh..at her surprise..
'Cause in the letter..she mailed to the North Pole...
These are the words that she wrote...
Chorus:
Nothin' else matters, not the dolly or the sled...
All I really want to see when I wake up in my bed...
Is my daddy standing there with a smile..
It's been a long, long time and momma needs him now you know..
So if you can, please understand, and send him home..
That's all I ask....
Momma tucks her in under her favorite pocahontas cartoon covers..and she prays..
Now I lay me down to sleep..I pray the lord my soul to keep and if I die..before I wake...
Please bring my daddy home...
Repeat Chorus:
Nothin' else matters, not the dolly or the sled...
All I really want to see when I wake up in my bed...
Is my daddy standing there with a smile..
It's been a long, long time and momma needs him now you know..
So if you can, please understand, and send him home..
That's all I ask....
