Boxes lined our hallway, that cold December day
I held my brother Tommy, as tears streamed down his face
he said, "I'll be good I promise", Daddy gave him one last kiss
silently we stood and waved as Daddy drove away
V2
Mama peeked through the white sheers, shedding only one brave tear
watched as Daddy's tail lights, slowly disappeared
she said, "God it's almost Christmas, how will we all adjust?"
whispered, "don't you worry Dear, Santa's coming here"

On red construction paper, I wrote my Christmas list
Oh I believe in Angels, and I only have one wish
I need Mistletoe From Heaven, to hang on Mommy's door
so when Daddy comes to visit, they won't fight anymore
V3
Mama read what I wrote, then called Daddy on the phone
we pretended not to listen, when she asked him to come home
heard her say," I need you too and the kids are missing you"
my heart was filled with brand new hope, as she read my Christmas note

I woke up Christmas morning, ran to our front porch
there was Mistletoe From Heaven hanging right above our door
when Daddy came by later I got my Christmas wish
under the Mistletoe From Heaven he gave my Mommy a kiss
