Verse 1:
It?s the news[G] that no one hopes for,
Every pare[Em]nt's greatest fear
[C]Finding out the child you love so much
Might not make it through the year[G]
Now the thought of[G] spending Christmas
Withou[Em]t him just feels wrong
They?ve been praying for [C]a miracle,
Now they're praying he can just hold on[G]
Chorus:
For one[C2] last Christmas, one last tim[Em]e,
O[C2]ne last season when the world is right,[D]
One more telling [Em]of the story,
One more verse [D]of Silent Night,[Em]
They?d give anything so[C2] he could have[D]
One last Christmas[G].
Verse 2:
Mid[G]dle of September
Still sev[Em]enty degrees
Daddy climb[C2]s up in the attic
Brings down candles
Hangs the lights on all the trees,[G]
Then the neighbo[G]rs started asking
And pretty soon [Em]word got around
[C2]First it was the neighborhood,
Before too long they lit up that whole town. [G]
Chorus:
For one[C2] last Christmas, one last ti[Em]me,
[C2]One last season when the world is right,[D]
One more telling o[Em]f the story,
One more verse of[D] Silent Night,[Em]
They?d give anything s[C2]o he could have[D]
One last Christmas.[G]
Verse 3:
Twenty-seventh [G]of October,
His tim[Em]e was wearing thin
Friends and family, [C2]even strangers
That they didn?t know brought presents in[G]
He was weak but[G] he was smiling
Like there[Em] was nothing even wrong
They said [C2]he wouldn?t make it,
Looks like he got to see it after all[G]
Chorus:
[C2]One last Christmas, one last tim[Em]e,
[C2]One last season when the world is right[D],
One more telling [Em]of the story,
One more verse of S[D]ilent Night,[Em]
They?d give anything s[C2]o he could have[D]
One last Christma[G]s.
