The Oak Ridge Boys - Little Annie's Christmas Wish Lyrics

Little Annie never had a Christmas
Her family was too poor
While walking by she saw a sign
At the local department store it said
"Just around the corner old
Santa's on his way he'll be here soon
Tomorrow at noon" little Annie couldn't wait

She stood in line and when it came her turn
She climbed up on his knee
When Santa heard what she had to say
A tear rolled down his cheek

She said there's lots of things
I'd like to see
Like a brand new bike beneath the tree
A dolly smiling back at me
But the thing I want the most
Then she whispered in his ear soft and low
She said

Christmas morning rolled around and she
Woke up with the sun
She ran straight to the window
If Santa Claus had come
There was no sign of reindeer hoofs
No gifts of any kind
Then she heard a knock upon the door
And she opened it to find

That poor little boy from across the road
With a new coat and new shoes
Little Annie jumped for joy and yelled
"My Christmas wish came true!"

She said there's lots of things
I'd like to see
Like a brand new bike beneath the tree
A dolly smiling back at me
But the thing I wanted most
Was to see the kids with less than me
Find gifts beneath their Christmas tree
Happiness and joy would be
The first thing on my list
A selfless dream came true
Little Annie's Christmas wish
