How I Wish Christmas Would Never End

(As recorded on “Jesus, The Heart Of Christmas” musical)

Words and Music by Lanna-Marie Wolfe and Lanny Wolfe

Verse One

The fire is burning, the tree is shining bright

The family’s around the table, all together on Christmas night

Presents are being given, there is no sadness here

I wish this feeling that we feel tonight would last throughout the year

Chorus

How I wish Christmas would never end

The joy in the air and the love that we share

As we gather with family and friends

When the snow melts away and decorations come down

I wish the spirit we shared would still be around

How I wish Christmas would never end

Verse Two

For one day called “Christmas” war and fighting cease

Soldiers lay down their weapons and for one day the world’s at peace

Goodwill is the light that leads the way spreading love, joy and cheer

I wish the magic of Christmas Day could be felt throughout the year

Chorus

How I wish Christmas would never end

The joy in the air and the love that we share

As we gather with family and friends

When the snow melts away and decorations come down

I wish the spirit we shared would still be around

How I wish Christmas would never end

Bridge

If everyone would let the Christ of Christmas live within

The peace and joy that Christmas brings would never ever end

Chorus / Coda

How I wish Christmas would never end

The joy in the air and the love that we share

As we gather with family and friends

When the snow melts away and decorations come down

I wish the spirit we shared would still be around

How I wish Christmas would never end

I wish Christmas would never end
