Christmas Wish Lyrics

People wonder why I don't cry for tomorrow
Had a mother down on bended knees to pray
She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow
I sing about 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 then give food away
That's the kind of thing you do on Christmas day

Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts she gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama 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 for which to play
That's the kinda thing you 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

Hold back my tears (hold back)
Hold back my tears (hold back)
When I think about the gifts she gave to me (gave me)
If I had one wish (just one wish)
One gift to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day

If I had one wish (just one wish)
One wish to get that day (Christmas wish)
It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day

If I had one wish
One thing that I could say
It would be, "Mama, I love you this Christmas day"

Christmas wish
Christmas wish
Christmas wish
Christmas wish
