A                                         Esus4              E   D
There's a little girl trembling on a cold    December morn
            Esus4       E   
Crying for momma's arms
          A                     Esus4              E   D
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
             Esus4
There the forgotten are

E    Bm                               A 
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
      G                              Esus4                 E
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine
      A                                   Bm
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
        D                              A 
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
    F#m7                                      Bm
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
         A                    D    E                      A
And I'll tell you from my heart     I wish you Merry Christmas

A                                         Esus4                     E   D 
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch    the twinkling lights
                  Esus4          E   
I'm warmed by the fire's glow and
    A                                Esus4            E   D 
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,
           Esus4
Make angels in the snow

E    Bm                             A 
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears
     G                                Esus4           E
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here

     A                                    Bm
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
     D                                  A 
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
    F#m7                                      Bm
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
          A                    D   E                       A
And I'll tell you from my heart    I wish you Merry Christmas
    G                   D             A
And Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child
            G              D                 A  
And when we celebrate his perfect gift of love
    G                     D
He came to earth to give his life
        Fm
And prepare a place for us
   Bm                   G                E
So we could have a home   with him above

      A                                   Bm
It's Christmas time again and now you're home
     D                            A 
Your family is here so you will never be alone
     F#m7                                   Bm
So tonight before you go to sleep I'll hold you in my arms
         A                   D            A                  D     
And I'll tell you from my heart  and I'll tell you from my heart   
E                    A  
I wish you Merry Christmas
