Story Behind The Song

I wrote this when I was away at college, and I knew my parents had missed me terribly, so I wrote it from their point of view for them.

Song Description

This is a demo of the song, but it can be rearranged as a pop, adult contemp, or country song easily. Demo sung by gue, but can also be sung by a girl. Lyrics can be decifered as missing a loved one who is either away at school, a business trip, in the military, at war, or has passed on, etc... and wanting them to be under your Christmas tree come morning.

Lyrics

One Christmas Morning
Music & Lyrics by Joseph A. Pesce ©1997

I haven?t seen you for a while
Got a memory of your face
Now the snow is on the ground
It?s so cold when you?re away

I wrote a letter as I fell asleep
Asked Santa Claus to bring you back to me

One Christmas Morning
I?ll find you under my tree
I?ve been wishing for you
Will you hurry to me
On Christmas morning

Your stocking?s hanging by the fire
The scent of ginger fills the air
And even though it?s Christmas time
It?s not the same if you?re not here

I close my eyes before I fall asleep
And say a prayer to bring you back to me

One Christmas Morning
I?ll find you under my tree
I?ve been wishing for you
Will you hurry to me
On Christmas morning
I want to really believe
That dreams do come true
It can happen you see?

Christmas time has come but all my joy has seem to gone away
All the gifts and toys can?t bring it back if you?re not home?..

On Christmas Morning
I?ll find you under my tree
I?ve been wishing for you
Will you hurry to me
On Christmas morning
That dreams can come true
It can happen you see
I?ve been wishing for you
Will you hurry to me?

On Christmas Morning
