Soundtrack: One Last Christmas {Matthew West}

One Last Christmas

Matthew West

It's the news that no one hopes for,

Every parent's greatest fear

Finding out the child you love so much

Might not make it through the year

Now the thought of spending Christmas

Without him just feels wrong

They've been praying for a miracle,

Now they're praying he can just hold on

Chorus:

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'd give anything so he could have

One last Christmas.

Middle of September

Still seventy degrees

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,

Before too long they lit up that whole town.

Chorus:

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'd give anything so he could have

One last Christmas.

Twenty-seventh of October,

{Malachi's Birthday}

His time was wearing thin

Friends and family, even strangers

That they didn't know brought presents in

He was weak but he was smiling

Like there was nothing even wrong

They said he wouldn't make it,

Looks like he got to see it after all

Chorus:

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'd give anything so he could have

One last Christmas
