"One Last Christmas" lyrics - 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
