I know I said I wanted that toy
I said it was the best thing in the world
I saw you crying last night
I wanted to cry too
I asked the angels why?
Cause I knew you would not tell me
They whispered truths into my ear
Things I had no idea of
It is okay if you can’t get me
Everything I want for Christmas
Things aren’t what I will remember anyway
If I knew that my toy ninja
Would cause you to work late
I would tell you, that it really was not that great
It is you I want for Christmas
My Ma and Pa
And even my brothers and sisters; though they get on my nerves sometimes
It is my time with you I will remember
Years later on recall
Even when I briefly act disappointed
That will fade as quickly as it comes
Cause I hate to see you crying
That is the worst
So please don’t feel sad
If you can’t get me things for Christmas
What I really need for Christmas
And all throughout the year
Is many hugs and kisses
And all the love you can spare
