The Heart of Christmas

("At the age of thirteen months, a little boy named Dax was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. The doctors told his parents, that most likely he wouldn´t make it to see Christmas.
This song is inspired by the true story about how family and a whole town ally together to make sure that this little boy will have one last Christmas") 


It’s the news that no one hopes for,
Every parent's greatest fear
Finding out the child you love so much
Might not make it through the year
Now the thought of spending Christmas
Without him just feels wrong
They’ve been praying for a miracle,
Now they're praying he can just hold on


Chorus:
For one last Christmas, one last time,
One last season when the world is right,
One more telling of the story,
One more verse of Silent Night,
They’d give anything so he could have
One last Christmas.


Middle of September
Still seventy degrees
Daddy climbs up in the attic
Brings down candles
Hangs the lights on all the trees,
Then the neighbors started asking
And pretty soon word got around
First it was the neighborhood,
Before too long they lit up that whole town.


Chorus:
For one last Christmas, one last time,
One last season when the world is right,
One more telling of the story,
One more verse of Silent Night,
They’d give anything so he could have
One last Christmas.


Twenty-seventh of October,
His time was wearing thin
Friends and family, even strangers
That they didn’t even know brought presents in
He was weak but he was smiling
Like there was nothing even wrong
They said he wouldn’t make it,
Looks like he got to see it after all


Chorus:
One last Christmas, one last time,
One last season when the world is right,
One more telling of the story,
One more verse of Silent Night,
They’d give anything so he could have
One last Christmas...


One last Christmas...
