I wish you Merry Christmas my child...

There’s a little girl trembling on a cold December morn, and crying for her mama’s arms,
At an orphanage just outside a little China town, where the forgotten are,
But half a world away I hang the stocking by the fire, and dream about the day I can finally call you mine.

It's Christmas time again but you’re not home, your family’s here and yet you are somewhere else alone,
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms and tell you from my heart,
I wish you Merry Christmas.

As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights, I’m warm by the fire’s glow,
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white, make angels in the snow,
Half a world away you try your best to fight the tears, and hope that heavens angels come to carry you here.

It’s Christmas time again but you’re not home, your family’s here and yet you are somewhere else alone,
So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms and tell you from my heart,
I wish you Merry Christmas.
