One Last Christmas - Matthew West

Its the news that no one hopes for

Every parents greatest fear

Finding out the child you love so much might not make it throught the year

Now the thought of spending christmas

Without him just feels wrong

They’ve been praying for a miracle, now there prayin he can just hold on

For one last christmas, one last time

One last season when the world is right

One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night

They would give anything so he could have

One last christmas

Middle of september

Still 70 degrees

Daddy climbs up in the attic, brings down candles, hangs the light up on the

tree

Then the neighbors started asking

And pretty soon word got around

First it was the neighborhood, before to long they lit up that whole town

For one last christmas, one last time

One last season when the world is right

One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night

They would give anything so he could have

One last christmas

27th of october

His time was wearin 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 wrong

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

For one last christmas, one last time

One last season when the world is right

One more telling of the story, one more verse of silent night

They would give anything so he could have

One last christmas

One last christmas
