Merry Christmas To You With All My Might
I thought I heard some knocking
And went to check the door
It was very shocking
Almost dropped me to the floor
I had thought my family
Had forgotten about me
They all held me firmly
I cried and they could see
I had some tears of joy
On my Christmas eve
I gave each child a toy
All adults got a sleeve
My house was very full
I was happy to the core
And I was very thankful
To be alone no more
We all went to sleep
As it was Christmas eve
The children tried to weep
I told them Santa would just leave
They set out cookies and milk
For Santa on a plate
And a napkin made of silk
So he could wipe his face
We got up in the morning
To see what Santa left
The sun was barely dawning
Some children feel bereft
It was a Merry Christmas
A very happy sight
I will say Merry Christmas
To you with all my might
