Would you see when you're a child
You say you never will forget
And Daddy said, he'd just be gone a while
And he ain't come back yet
I never did know who to blame
I hold out hope just the same
It's what I want for Christmas, what I wish upon a star
I blow out all the candles on every birthday so far
And when I lay me down to sleep I pray
My year's resolution every new year's day is unresolved
I try to get on with my life
And I've done alright, I guess
A father, mother, husband, wife
The words start to mean a little bit less
Count the ways that I've been blessed
I know this is for the best
But what I want for Christmas, what I wish upon a star
I blow out all the candles on every birthday so far
When I lay me down to sleep I pray
And my year's resolution every new year's day is unresolved
What I had and what I have
Might not seem so different
Of what I picture of my family
It's what I want for Christmas, what I wish upon a star
I blow out all the candles on every birthday so far
And when I lay me down to sleep I pray
And my year's resolution every new year's day is unresolved
It's unresolved
