Johnny never got a wish on December 25th
That's what he said when we left the orphanage
9 years old but Johny wasn't old soul
Gonna spend his Christmas in a real home
Show me a picture that he drew the night before
It was a picture of a man standing outside a door
I ask him who it was. Someone I only see in dreams
Comforts me when I cry myself to sleep
[Chorus:]
Father let us not forget
The children who are all alone
This Christmas
This Christmas
Believe in angel? Johnny asked me staring at the sky
I said: I do. I saw a sparkle in his eyes
Big brother for the weekend
A nice... for the season
Took the change I give
It is better giving than receiving
Two nights in a family
Some holiday cheer
We laughed and sat on a midnight clear
We gave received and as we headed to a close
We looked to the Heaven and it started to snow down
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let Heaven and nature sing [repeats]
Believe in angel? Johnny asked me staring at the sky
I said: I do. I saw a sparkle in his eyes
9 years old but Johny wasn't old soul
Gonna spend his Christmas in a real home
[Chorus]
