Christmas Wish
Ever wonder why I don't cry for tomorrow?
Had a mother down on bended knee to pray
She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow
I sing about that good news on Christmas day
We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and yams
We would pray then give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts they gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day (ooh)
She would say, "Children, go into your closets
Pick your nicest things and prepare them to give away
There's some children down the street with no toys for which to play
That's the kinda thing you'd do on Christmas day"
We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and candied yams
We would pray and say grace, then give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts she gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day (ooh)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day
If I had one wish
One thing that I could say
It would be, "Mama, I love you, this Christmas day"
Christmas wish, Christmas wish
Christmas wish
Had a mother down on bended knee to pray
She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow
I sing about that good news on Christmas day
We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and yams
We would pray then give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts they gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day (ooh)
She would say, "Children, go into your closets
Pick your nicest things and prepare them to give away
There's some children down the street with no toys for which to play

We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and candied yams
We would pray and say grace, then give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts she gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day (ooh)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day
If I had one wish
One thing that I could say
It would be, "Mama, I love you, this Christmas day"
Christmas wish, Christmas wish
Christmas wish
