Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd give anything to see
A little Christmas tree
And to hear, hear the laughter
Of children playing in the snow
To kiss my baby
Under the mistletoe
[Verse 2]
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless the stop the fight
'Cause I'm a prisoner of war
Lying here in my cell
Hoping my family is well
Wish they wouldn't worry so much about me
Just try to get us home
In time for the Christmas tree
[Verse 3]
Listen
Oh, yeah, oh-oh
I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells, want to hear jingle bells ringing
[Verse 4]
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless the stop the fight
[Verse 5]
If I can't make it home in time
I know you'll be keeping my spirit bright
By wearing my name and trying to stop this fight
Ah, but I'd give anything to see the family
And that little Christmas tree
[Verse 6]
I want to see snowflakes fall (See snowflakes fall)
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Yes, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells ringing
I want to hear jingle bells ringing
[Verse 7]
I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells ringing
I miss you baby
I want to hear jingle bells ringing (I miss you, darling)
I miss the kids
[Verse 8]
Ooh, I want to see snowflakes fall
Get to do
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells
I want to hear jingle bells ringing
