Ever wonder why I don't cry for tomorrow

Had a mother down on bended knee to prey

She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow

I sing about that good news on Christmas day

We would all hold hands around the dinner table

She made turkey greens cornbread and yams

We would pray and give the food away

That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day

Hold back my tears hold back

Hold back my tears hold back

When I think about the gifts they gave to me gave me

If I had one wish just one wish

One gift to get that day Christmas wish

It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day

She would say children go into your closets

Pick your nicest things and prepare them to give away

There's some children down the street with no toys for which to play

That's the kinda thing you'd do on Christmas day

We would all hold hands around the dinner table

She made turkey greens cornbread and candied yams

We would pray and say grace then give the food away

That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day

Hold back my tears hold back

Hold back my tears hold back

When I think about the gifts she gave to me gave me

If I had one wish just one wish

One gift to get that day Christmas wish

It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day

If I had one wish just one wish

One gift to get that day Christmas wish

It would be to kiss my mama on Christmas day

If I had one wish

One thing that I could say

It would be mama I love you this Christmas day

Christmas wish Christmas wish

Christmas wish Christmas wish
