Verse 1:
G
It’s the news that no one hopes for,
Em
Every parent's greatest fear
C
Finding out the child you love so much
G
Might not make it through the year
G
Now the thought of spending Christmas
Em
Without him just feels wrong
C
They’ve been praying for a miracle,
G
Now they're praying he can just hold on
Chorus:
C2 Em
For one last Christmas, one last time,
C2 D
One last season when the world is right,
Em
One more telling of the story,
D Em
One more verse of Silent Night,
C2 D
They’d give anything so he could have
G
One last Christmas.
Verse 2:
G
Middle of September
Em
Still seventy degrees
C2
Daddy climbs up in the attic
Brings down candles
G
Hangs the lights on all the trees,
G
Then the neighbors started asking
Em
And pretty soon word got around
C2
First it was the neighborhood,
G
Before too long they lit up that whole town.
Chorus:
C2 Em
For one last Christmas, one last time,
C2 D
One last season when the world is right,
Em
One more telling of the story,
D Em
One more verse of Silent Night,
C2 D
They’d give anything so he could have
G
One last Christmas.
Verse 3:
G
Twenty-seventh of October,
Em
His time was wearing thin
C2
Friends and family, even strangers
G
That they didn’t know brought presents in
G
He was weak but he was smiling
Em
Like there was nothing even wrong
C2
They said he wouldn’t make it,
G
Looks like he got to see it after all
Chorus:
C2 Em
One last Christmas, one last time,
C2 D
One last season when the world is right,

One more telling of the story,
