Christmas Wish
Ever wonder why I don't cry for tomorrow Had a mother down on when they need to prey She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow I sing about all that good news on Christmas day We would all hold hands around the dinner table She made turkey, greens, cornbread and candied yams We would pray and give the food away That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day Hold back my tears Hold back my tears When I think about the gifts they gave to me If I had one wish, one gift to give this day It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day 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 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 Letras de canciones Hold back my tears Hold back my tears When I think about the gifts she gave to me If I had one wish, one gift to get that day It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day If I had one wish, one wish to get that day It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day If I had one wish, one thing that I could say It would be "Mamma, I love you this Christmas day."
