The Christmas Miss
If wishes were white horses
And fairy tales came true
I'd wish upon the brightest star
your Christmas wasn't blue.

This time of year is meant to be
A time for peace and love
to gather all the stars at night
and give to those we love.

I'd wish that my white horses
would swiftly bring you home
But that's a wish that cannot be
... so know you're not alone.

When all the gifts are opened
(and this year, there's just a few)
We'll still be missing something
And that "something" will be You!

So when you're at your darkest hour
and feel that all is lost
Remember always keep the faith
No matter what the cost

For faith is what reminds us
of the strength we cannot see
A strength so strong, it guides us
to be all that we can be.

Before I go to sleep this year
the night of Christmas Eve
I'll pray God sends an angel
who will help you to believe.

That holidays are made for us
to show how much we care
About the special people
Who are scattered everywhere.

Don't let the walls around you
Steal the spirit from your heart
For there's a boy who's watching you
So you must do your part.

To us it doesn't matter
if you're near, or if you're far
We'll gather all the the love we have
and send by shooting star!
