It’s the news that no one hopes for,

Now they're praying he can just hold on

For one last Christmas, one last time,

They’d give anything so he could have

One last Christmas.

Middle of September
F#m
Still seventy degrees
D
Daddy climbs up in the attic
Brings down candles

Hangs the lights on all the trees,

Then the neighbors started asking

And pretty soon word got around

First it was the neighborhood,
A
Before too long they lit up that whole town.

Twenty-seventh of October,

His time was wearing thin

Friends and family, even strangers

Like there was nothing even wrong

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

One last Christmas, one last time,

One last season when the world is right,

One more telling of the story,
EF#m
