THE FINEST CHRISTMAS GIFT
KERRY PATRICK CLARK


We've an angel reminding us from atop our Christmas tree
The reason why we celebrate on this day was born our King
Both the shepards and the magi bore gold and frankenscence
In swadling clothes the baby lay asleep in Bethlehem

CHORUS
I have just one wish that Santa last year missed
It may be just a dream for peace on Christmas eve
If underneath the pine the morrow I will find
My one my only wich it'd be the finest Christmas gift

Now the embers in the fireplace soft and slowly fade
By the window children wait for glimpses of a sleigh
As the ribbons and the wrappings fly as tiny eyes behold
The treasures left by Santa Clause he remembered each wish told

CHORUS
I have just one wish that Santa last year missed
It may be just a dream for peace on Christmas eve
If underneath the pine the morrow I will find
My one my only wich it'd be the finest Christmas gift

As voices hail one last refrain tis the season for good cheer
We remember all who fought and fell and won't be home this year
When the evening hours are all but gone when eyes fall on father time
Friends and family raise their cup in toast to Auld Lang Syne

CHORUS
I have just one wish that Santa last year missed
It may be just a dream for peace on Christmas eve
If underneath the pine the morrow I will find
My one my only wich it'd be the finest Christmas gift
