G C G
[Verse 1]
G
The trees are all lit up
C G/B
snow is on the ground
Am
Carolers sing Jingle Bells
G D/F#
and Santa comes to town
Em
the holidays are meant to be
C G/B
a time of peace and joy
Am
but they´re painted with a different hue
D
at the bedside of a boy
[Verse 2]
G
Now Christmas only came for him
C G/B
five times in his life
Am
the chemo stole his smile away
G D/F#
and the joy from in his eyes
Em
His momma she would pray to God
C G/B
reach down your healing hand
Am
my husband is fighting overseas
D
and I can´t lose my little man
[Chorus]
C D
And he said momma don´t you worry
G D/F# Em
I know just what to do
C G/B
I wrote Santa Claus a letter
Am D
and I know that he´ll pull through
Em D
And I told him to bring daddy home
C G
to be with you and me
Am D
and asked him if he´d help me stick around
C
for one more christmas eve
[Verse 3]
G
The christmas cards kept coming in
C G/B
day after day
Am
saying they were sending love
G D/F#
and prayers all their way
Em
His doctor said, there´s not much time
C G/B
he´s barely holding on
Am
but he just smiles as he holds
D
the hand of his mom
[Chorus]
C D
And he said momma don´t you worry
G D/F# Em
I know just what to do
C G/B
I wrote Santa Claus a letter
Am D
and I know that he´ll pull through
Em D
And I told him to bring daddy home
C G
to be with you and me
Am D
and asked him if he´d help me stick around
C
for one more christmas eve
[Bridge]
D
And his momma starts to cry
G D/F#
as the door swing wide open
Em
and his daddy steps inside
Am
and he tells them that he loves them
G Em
as he holds them in his arms
D
and they were talking through the night
D
till December 24th
[Verse 3]
G
Now christmas day has come and passed
C G/B
so has new years eve
Am
His mom and daddy dressed in black
G D/F#
Hearts filled with grief
Em
A postman with a white beard stands
C G/B
among the friends that mourn
Am
Hands his mom a letter,
D
says "I believe this is yours"
[Chorus - slightly different]
C D
And it read santa won´t you hurry
G D/F# Em
I don´t know what to do
C G/B
My momma´s scared to death
Am D
But I know that you´ll pull through
Em D
And I need you to bring daddy home
C G
to be with her and me
Am D
And Santa won´t you help me be with them
C
For one more christmas eve
G
Oh, one more christmas eve...
The trees are all lit up
Snow is on the ground
Carolers sing Jingle Bells and Santa comes to town
The holidays are meant to be a time of peace and joy
But they're painted with a different hue at the bedside of a boy
Now Christmas only came for him five times in his life
The chemo stole his smile away and the joy from in his eyes
His momma, she would pray to God
"Reach down Your healing hand"
"My husband's fighting overseas and I can't lose my little man"
And he said, "Momma, don't you worry, I know just what to do"
"I wrote Santa Clause a letter and I know that he'll pull through"
"I told him to bring Daddy home to be with you and me"
"And asked him if he'd help me stick around"
"For one more Christmas Eve"
The Christmas cards kept coming in day after day
Saying they were sending love and prayers all their way
His doctor said there's not much time, he's barely holding on
But he just smiles as he holds the hand of his mom
And he says, "Momma, don't you worry, I know just what to do"
"I wrote Santa Clause a letter and I know that he'll pull through"
"I told him to bring Daddy home to be with you and me"
"And asked him if he'd help me stick around'"
"One more Christmas Eve"
And his momma starts to cry
As the door swings wide open
And his daddy steps inside
And he tells them that he loves them
As he holds them in his arms
And they went talking through the night 'til December 24th
That Christmas Day has come and passed, so has New Year's Eve
His mom and daddy dressed in black, hearts filled with grief
A postman with a white beard
Stands amongst the friends that mourn
Hands his mom a letter, says, "I believe this is yours"
And it read, "Santa won't you hurry? I don't know what to do"
"My momma's scared to death"
"But I know that you'll pull through"
"And I need you to bring Daddy home to be with her and me"
"And Santa, won't you help me be with them"
"For one more Christmas Eve?"
Oh, one more Christmas Eve
