Verse 1:
             F
It’s the news that no one hopes for,

          Am
Every parent's greatest fear

F
Finding out the child you love so much

                                                  F 
Might not make it through the year

                  F
Now the thought of spending Christmas

      Am
Without him just feels wrong

                         F
They’ve been praying for a miracle,

                                                            F
Now they're praying he can just hold on
Chorus:
       F2                           Am
For one last Christmas, one last time,

 F2                                     G                      
One last season when the world is right,

                 Am
One more telling of the story,

               G                         Am
One more verse of Silent Night,

                       F2                               G
They’d give anything so he could have

                  F
One last Christmas.
Verse 2:
   F
Middle of September

         Am
Still seventy degrees

           F2
Daddy climbs up in the attic
Brings down candles
                                             F
Hangs the lights on all the trees,

                F
Then the neighbors started asking

                Am
And pretty soon word got around

F2
First it was the neighborhood,

                                                              F
Before too long they lit up that whole town. 
Chorus:
       F2                          Am
For one last Christmas, one last time,

F2                                      G
One last season when the world is right,

                  Am
One more telling of the story,

                 G                          Am
One more verse of Silent Night,

                      F2                                G
They’d give anything so he could have

One last Christmas.

               F
Twenty-seventh of October,

       Am
His time was wearing thin

                    F2
Friends and family, even strangers

                                                                F
That they didn’t know brought presents in

               F
He was weak but he was smiling

          Am
Like there was nothing even wrong

          F2
They said he wouldn’t make it,

                                                    F
Looks like he got to see it after all

F2                              Am    
One last Christmas, one last time,

One last season when the world is right,

                 Am
