He can feel his arms around her this December
Even though she's gone a million miles away
But they're the product of a senseless situation
That's keeping him from home this holiday
But there's a letter on his bed that he can hardly wait to read
He studies every word it says
Yeah it helps him fall asleep

It says
Merry Christmas, I hope you get this
Please don't send me any packages with a bow
Because the only gift I want this year is for you to make it safely here
I hope you know I'm wishing on a star
Oh, wherever you are

She can feel her arms around her by the fireplace
Like when he was there so many months ago
But they're a product of a senseless situation
That's keeping him so far away from home
But there's a letter on the countertop she can hardly wait to read

She tears up as she opens it and nearly falls down on her knees

It says
Merry Christmas, I hope you get this
Please don't send me any packages with a bow
Because the only gift I want is to make it safely home to you
I hope you know I'm wishing on a star
Oh, wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are

Merry Christmas, I hope you get this
Please don't send me any packages with a bow
Because the only gift I want this year is for you to make it safely here
I hope you know I'm wishing on a star
I hope you know I'm wishing on a star
I hope you know I'm wishing on a star
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
