Little Annie's Christmas Wish - The Oak Ridge Boys

Little Annie never had a Christmas, her family was too poor

While walking by she saw a sign at the local department store

It said, «Just around the corner old Santa’s on his way

He’ll be here soon, tomorrow at noon» little Annie couldn’t wait

She stood in line and when it came her turn

She climbed up on his knee

When Santa heard what she had to say

A tear rolled down his cheek

She said there’s lots of things I’d like to see

Like a brand new bike beneath the tree

A dolly smiling back at me

But the thing I want the most

Then she whispered in his ear soft and low, she said

Christmas morning rolled around and she woke up with the sun

She ran straight to the window if Santa Claus had come

There was no sign of reindeer hoofs, no gifts of any kind

Then she heard a knock upon the door and she opened it to find

That poor little boy from across the road

With a new coat and new shoes

Little Annie jumped for joy and yelled

«My Christmas wish came true!»

She said there’s lots of things I’d like to see

Like a brand new bike beneath the tree

A dolly smiling back at me

But the thing I wanted most

Was to see the kids with less than me

Find gifts beneath their Christmas tree

Happiness and joy would be

The first thing on my list

A selfless dream came true
