All I Want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas
is to see you smiling at me,
to watch how your face brightens
as you spend time with your family.

All I want for Christmas
is to hear you say our Christmas prayer.
Your voice strong but gentle,
giving thanks with love and care.

All I want for Christmas
is to taste your cooking again
Ham puffs, carrot soup, and so much more
all prepared with your loving hand.

All I want for Christmas
is to be able to hand you a gift.
To give you something from my heart
would be my special wish.

All I want for Christmas
is to give you a hug and kiss,
tell you how special you are to me,
let you know how much you’ve been missed.

All I want for Christmas
is a wish I hold close to my heart.
This wish can’t really ever come true,
but in spirit our family is never apart.
