Verse 1:
             G5
It?s the news that no one hopes for,
          E5
Every parent's greatest fear
C5
Finding out the child you love so much
                                                  G5 
Might not make it through the year
                  G5
Now the thought of spending Christmas
      E5
Without him just feels wrong
                         C5
They?ve been praying for a miracle,
                                                            G5
Now they're praying he can just hold on


Chorus:
       C5                           E5
For one last Christmas, one last time,
 C5                                     D5                      
One last season when the world is right,
                 E5
One more telling of the story,
               D5                         E5
One more verse of Silent Night,
                       C5                               D5
They?d give anything so he could have
                  G5
One last Christmas.

Verse 2:
   G5
Middle of September
         E5
Still seventy degrees
           C5
Daddy climbs up in the attic

Brings down candles
                                             G5
Hangs the lights on all the trees,
                G5
Then the neighbors started asking
                E5
And pretty soon word got around
C5
First it was the neighborhood,
                                                              G5
Before too long they lit up that whole town. 


Chorus:
       C5                          E5
For one last Christmas, one last time,
C5                                      D5
One last season when the world is right,
                  E5
One more telling of the story,
                 D5                          E5
One more verse of Silent Night,
                      C5                                D5
They?d give anything so he could have
                       G5
One last Christmas.


Verse 3:  
               G5
Twenty-seventh of October,
       E5
His time was wearing thin
                    C5
Friends and family, even strangers
                                                                G5
That they didn?t know brought presents in
               G5
He was weak but he was smiling
          E5
Like there was nothing even wrong
          C5
They said he wouldn?t make it,
                                                    G5
Looks like he got to see it after all


Chorus:
C5                              E5    
One last Christmas, one last time,
C5                                     D5
One last season when the world is right,
                 E5
One more telling of the story,
                   D5                      E5
One more verse of Silent Night,
                      C5                              D5
They?d give anything so he could have
                 G5
One last Christmas.
