My Christmas Wish (2023 Version) Lyrics

When I was five, I don't think that I had a Christmas wish at all

But I was happy with a fire truck and a big round rubber ball

Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs were left beneath the tree

But seeing all my family was the greatest gift to me

When I was ten, my Christmas wish was for a brand new bike

And do you know what?

I got one - and my brother got a trike

I remember that my dad and grandpa taught me how to ride

While Mom and Grandma cooked a special Christmas feast inside

This year I only have one Christmas wish to name

But I don't think that this one will come true

But I'll keep on hoping and praying just the same

I wish I could spend Christmas with you

My greatest Christmas wish at fifteen was a new guitar

But Mom and Dad said it was not to be

I could not believe my eyes when I woke up on Christmas morn

To find a new electric guitar on the wall beside our Christmas tree

This year I only have one Christmas wish to name

But I don't think that this one will come true

But I'll keep on hoping and praying just the same

I wish I could spend Christmas with you

Childhood Christmas wishes have a special kind of magic

And how I really wish that it could be

That I could have a little bit of magic once again

So I'd wake up on Christmas morn and you'd be here with me

This year I only have one Christmas wish to name

But I don't think that this one will come true

But I'll keep on hoping and praying just the same

I wish I could spend Christmas with you

But I'll keep on hoping and praying just the same

I wish I could spend Christmas with you
