The Oak Ridge Boys - Little Annie's Christmas Wish lyrics

Little Annie never had a Christmas, her family was too poor While walking by she saw a sign at the local department store It said, "Just around the corner old Santa's on his way He'll be here soon, tomorrow at noon" little Annie couldn't wait She stood in line and when it came her turn She climbed up on his knee When Santa heard what she had to say A tear rolled down his cheek She said there's lots of things I'd like to see Like a brand new bike beneath the tree A dolly smiling back at me But the thing I want the most Then she whispered in his ear soft and low, she said Christmas morning rolled around and she woke up with the sun She ran straight to the window if Santa Claus had come There was no sign of reindeer hoofs, no gifts of any kind Then she heard a knock upon the door and she opened it to find That poor little boy from across the road With a new coat and new shoes Little Annie jumped for joy and yelled "My Christmas wish came true!" She said there's lots of things I'd like to see Like a brand new bike beneath the tree A dolly smiling back at me But the thing I wanted most Was to see the kids with less than me Find gifts beneath their Christmas tree Happiness and joy would be The first thing on my list A selfless dream came true Little Annie's Christmas wish
