Текст песни
There was a little girl starin at the winter sky
Hands pressed on the window whisperin Lord hear my cry
She didn't ask for nothin big no diamonds no toys too grand
Just prayed for her soldier daddy to come home and take her by the hand
Christmas mornin came early she ran fast on little feet
Tree glowin in the corner gifts stacked so pretty and neat
Her eyes got wide with wonder at the treasures wrapped in red
But she looked back toward that doorway and her smile slowly fled
One small wish
Was all her heart had made
One small wish
No ribbon boh or blade
She whispered Mama is Daddy comin He said he wouldn't be gone long
And Mama held her close sayin Baby Daddy's fightin for our home stay strong
She opened every present slow tryin hard to understand
Why her daddy wasn't there to lift her up with his strong hands
She hugged her little doll tight tryin not to let tears fall
But even a mountain of presents couldn't fill that missing call
One small wish
Was all her heart had made
One small wish
No ribbon boh or blade
She whispered Mama I miss him more than all the stars above
And Mama kissed her forehead sayin Baby Daddy's servin us with love
But then a quiet knock echoed from the front room floor
Mama froze for just a moment then turned slowly toward the door
It creaked open soft and gentle snow blowin from the night
And there he stood her soldier framed in Christmas light
Her eyes went wide her breath caught fast then the cries began to pour
That little girl ran shoutin dropped her gifts across the floor
She jumped into his arms cryin Daddy don't you ever leave again
And he whispered Baby I'm home Merry Christmas amen
One small wish
Came true that holy day
One small wish
Love finally found its way
No gift could ever shine brighter than the moment he came home
Thank you Lord for Christmas
And bringin Daddy safely home
