A little boy with tear dimmed eyes with trembling lips he could not hide

Too young to undertsand why daddy said goodbye

The Christmas time is almost here and daddy won't be home this year

The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to help me docorate the Christmas tree

Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents

But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

[ steel ]

Mommy said if I'd be good and say my prayers the way I should

Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us

For it won't seem like Christmas day with my daddy far away

Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much

All I want for Christmas...

No don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
