Billy waited at the store front 
Determination in his eyes 
8 years old and in a wheelchair 
His Mother standing at his side 

He had her bring him to see Santa 
A note he'd written in his hand 
She wheeled him up to Mr. Kringle 
The youngster spoke just like a man 

He said Santa here's my wish list 
And it only has one thing 
I'm really hoping you can help me 
With this most important gift to bring 

I want Daddy home for Christmas 
In time for us to light the tree 
There's no Christmas cheer at my house 
With just Momma and me 

You see my Daddy's in a coma 
And has been now for 3 long days 
So what I really want for Christmas 
Is for my Daddy to awake 

He drives long hours in a Semi 
Does mechanic's work at night 
Day and night a savin' money 
Toward a power chair for me to drive 

But his rig blew a tire on Mt. Eagle 
With a load of ties on the way down 
They say he dodged a bus of children 
To go off the bank that he went down 

Now me and Momma sit there waiting 
Hoping he will come around 
So I said a prayer and wrote this letter 
When I heard you were here in town 

I want Daddy home for Christmas 
In time for us to light the tree 
There's no Christmas cheer at my house 
With just Momma and me 

Santa looked up at the gold Cross 
Shining high atop the tree 
He said my friend's in charge of these things 
Let's say a prayer you and me 

When they were done the old elf hugged him 
And said Son hold on to hope and faith 
Christmas miracles can happen 
If you know he is the way 

Billy waved good-bye to Santa 
As his Mother took a call 
The nurse said Your husband just awoke dear 
And he's asking for you all

As she fell straight down a cryin'
Billy whispered in her ear 
I just knew Jesus would listen 
To a Saint Nick Christmas Prayer 

We'll have Daddy home for Christmas 
In time for us to light the tree 
It'll be a real Christmas now at our house 
With Daddy Momma and me
