| Dear daddy, I missed you today
|
| When mama unpacked out old Christmas tree
|
| And that sweet angel never looked so good on top
|
| But my heart felt sad when you weren’t there to lift me
|
| It’s been a while since you went off to fight the war
|
| So this year it won’t be presents I’ll be wishing for
|
| I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| While you’re still far away
|
| And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night
|
| Praying Jesus keeps you safe
|
| 'Cause I’m so proud of you, I hope you come home soon
|
| But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| I see bright colors light up the Wilson’s house
|
| While rockets flash across your evening sky
|
| And we sing carols, ooh, all over town
|
| While you’re living out the cost of peace on earth tonight
|
| But if another little boy can grow up just like me
|
| Living in a land that’s safe and free
|
| I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| While you’re still far away
|
| And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night
|
| Praying Jesus keeps you safe
|
| 'Cause I’m so proud of you, I hope you come home soon
|
| But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| Freedom isn’t free, there’s a price to pay when duty calls
|
| It takes sacrifice from us all
|
| So I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| While your still far away
|
| And I’ll kneel beside my bed each night
|
| Praying Jesus keeps you safe
|
| 'Cause we’re all so proud of you and I hope you come home soon
|
| But until you do, I’ll be brave this Christmas
|
| Ooh, this Christmas, I’ll be brave |
