Snow is falling on the ground
Mama's driving her 'cross town
Pink polka dot bags packed
For an overnight at dad's
And since they can't be together
She writes a red Crayola letter
To the North Pole from Atlanta
Says, "Dear Santa
All I'm asking for is this
Don't need no gifts, my only wish is
Just one Christmas
With just one family 'round one tree
Oh, Santa, please, my only wish is
Just one Christmas this year"
Mama wears her best brave face
Until she cries and drives away
There's a letter in the car seat
Breaks her heart as she reads
All I'm asking for is this
Don't need no gifts, my only wish is
Just one Christmas
With just one family 'round one tree
Oh, Santa, please, my only wish is
Just one Christmas this year
Candy canes on lit up streets
Can feel so bittersweet
When you're eight and all you want
Is for mom and dad to be in love
All I'm asking for is this
Don't need no gifts, my only wish is
Just one Christmas
With just one family 'round one tree
Oh, Santa, please, my only wish is
Just one Christmas this year
My only wish is
Just one Christmas
