My Christmas Wish

[Intro] [Verse 1] Empty plate, no chair beside, Dinner’s cold, tears I hide. Tree lights flicker, memories sting, Wishing for joy this night might bring. [Chorus] Santa, I don’t need no shiny ride, No gifts wrapped up to keep inside. All I want, on this silent night, Is someone to hold, to make it right. [Verse 2] Table's set with just one plate, I pretend it’s fine—it’s getting late. Wish I had a friend, just one to say, “Merry Christmas,” to melt this gray. [Pre-Chorus] But down the street, under moonlight glow, A little shadow in the snow… [Chorus] Santa, I don’t need no shiny ride, No gifts wrapped up to keep inside. All I want, on this silent night, Is someone to hold, to make it right. [Bridge] Stopped at the corner for cigarettes, But a bark broke my sadness yet. A puppy, shivering, all alone, He looked at me and felt like home. [Chorus] Santa, you gave me what I never guessed, Not gold, not jewels, but it’s the best. A little heart to beat with mine, Now this Christmas feels just fine. [Outro] [Building joy with bells and harmonies] Spent the money on treats and a little bed, No smoke tonight, just warmth instead. Together we sat by the fire's glow, Under the tree, with love to show. This Christmas, I’m not alone, A little bark made this house a home.
