Story Behind The Song
This is a Christmas song that is meant to be uplifting and create a mood of peace.
Song Description
This is a Christmas song with female vocal (and minimal male back ground vocals), with piano, bass, cello, guitar and drums. I believe that Christmas is a state of mind and can be celebrated on a daily basis, because the mood of peace, love an joy can be with us always as long as he hold it in our hearts.

Lyrics
How I Wish
© 2013, John Gerard Macchietto
Verse 1: On a dark and snowy night
Mary came to rest --
Unaware her labor would
Bring mankind its best.
The joy she held within her heart
Soon spread 'cross the land --
How I wish I could have seen
This miracle first-hand.
Verse 2: On a dark and snowy night
The angels joined in song --
Showing that the prophesy
Was moving right along.
Singing joy and praises
Resounding through the land --
How I wish I could have heard
This joyous song first-hand.
(Instrumental - Humming)
Verse 3: On a dark and snowy night
The animals stood still --
Witnessing a miracle
Of wonder from God's will.
A presence of deep peacefulness
Shown in all their eyes --
How I wish I could have seen
The wonder in their eyes.
Verse 4: On a dark and snowy night
Christ came to us all --
The largest gift unto the world
In a package very small.
Showing us that we could have
The joy that's found above --
I don't have to wish for this
It's found in Christmas love.
(Humming).
