One Last Christmas

{name: Verse 1} A It's the news that no one hopes for, F#m Every parent's greatest fear D Finding out the child you love so much A Might not make it through the year A Now the thought of spending Christmas F#m Without him just feels wrong D They've been praying for a miracle, A Now they're praying he can just hold on {name: Chorus} D2 F#m For one last Christmas, one last time, D2 E One last season when the world is right, F#m One more telling of the story, E F#m One more verse of Silent Night, D2 E They'd give anything so he could have A One last Christmas. {name: Verse 2} A Middle of September F#m Still seventy degrees D2 Daddy climbs up in the attic Brings down candles A Hangs the lights on all the trees, A Then the neighbors started asking F#m And pretty soon word got around D2 First it was the neighborhood, A Before too long they lit up that whole town. {name: Chorus} D2 F#m For one last Christmas, one last time, D2 E One last season when the world is right, F#m One more telling of the story, E F#m One more verse of Silent Night, D2 E They'd give anything so he could have A One last Christmas. {name: Verse 3} A Twenty-seventh of October, F#m His time was wearing thin D2 Friends and family, even strangers A That they didn't know brought presents in A He was weak but he was smiling F#m Like there was nothing even wrong D2 They said he wouldn't make it, A Looks like he got to see it after all {name: Chorus} D2 F#m One last Christmas, one last time, D2 E One last season when the world is right, F#m One more telling of the story, E F#m One more verse of Silent Night, D2 E They'd give anything so he could have A One last Christmas.
