Only One Thing

The Christmas Illuminations are up already It's almost time The holidays are here Baking gingerbread men Topped with icing Smiles and Jolly Jelly bean buttons Decorating the tree Golds and reds a Glow Always held the berry decorations As ruby red bouquets Pulling out The holiday CDs Glorified by the Carol of the Bells Always listened to Mariah This time of year Every year Never asked Saint Nick for Anything Other than Books Barbie dolls Toys But now I hear her Hurts so bad Hurts so good In the brilliant lights Down the streets Took my breath away Walking in the cold frisky winds Along the river Lined with sparkles Shining in the reflections A river of stars I look at the Gorgeous Christmas tree And There certainly is Only one thing I want But I know He can't bring me my Gift This year It may not even be next year So near Yet so far Out of my reach Expecting Nothing under the tree This year Santa definitely can't Grant my wish This Christmas Maybe next year I'll be singing Wham! This time of year Next year
