A little boy with tear dimmed eyes With trembling lips he could not hide Too young to undertsand Why daddy said goodbye Why, Christmas time is almost here And daddy won't be home this year The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried All I want for Christmas is my daddy To help me decorate the Christmas tree Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve Mommy said if I'd be good
And say my prayers the way I should Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us For it won't seem like Christmas day With my daddy far away 'Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much All I want for Christmas is my daddy To help me docorate the Christmas tree Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve No, don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
