I’ve got no money
And there is no snow
I can only wish
Better will show
Not like days of old
When I was young
I get no presents
It’s no longer fun.
Chorus
I wish that Christmas
Could be like before
But now on my own
Lonely and poor.
Oh, how I wish
Could see ones I miss
And exchange presents
But that’s not how it is
Now I’m alone
With my fake old tree
And a few decorations
Surrounding me.
Chorus
I wish that Christmas
Could be like before
But now on my own
Lonely and poor.
Guess I could only dream
It seems
The good times have all now
Come and been.
Then suddenly
Heard a knock at my door
Then when I opened
Couldn’t believe what I saw
My wish had come true
That is for sure
Friends and relatives
With gifts galore.
Chorus
I wished that Christmas
Could be like before
But now I have
And so much more.
Then in the morning
Of Christmas Day
Snow had fallen
A festive display
I wished that Christmas
Could be like before
And now I have
All I wished for.
Bridge
It’s a merry Christmas
Oh, it’s a merry Christmas
It’s a merry Christmas
For which I had wished
It’s a merry Christmas
Oh, it’s a merry Christmas
It’s a merry Christmas
For which I had wished.
Chorus
I wished that Christmas
Could be like before
But now it is
But even more
Best Christmas ever
My wish came true
A special year
So I thank you.
“My Christmas wish
Came true.”
