Little Annie's Christmas Wish
Little Annie's Selfless Christmas Wish
Lyrics
Little Annie never had a Christmas
Little Annie never experienced a Christmas celebration.
Her family was too poor
Her family lacked the financial means to celebrate Christmas.
While walking by she saw a sign
While passing by, she noticed a sign at the department store.
At the local department store it said
The sign hinted at Santa Claus's imminent arrival.
"Just around the corner old
It emphasized that Santa was coming soon.
Santa's on his way he'll be here soon
Specified Santa's arrival the next day at noon.
Tomorrow at noon" little Annie couldn't wait
Little Annie was excited and eager for Santa's arrival.
She stood in line and when it came her turn
She waited in line and eventually met Santa.
She climbed up on his knee
She sat on Santa's lap.
When Santa heard what she had to say
When she shared her wishes, Santa was moved to tears.
A tear rolled down his cheek
His emotional response included shedding a tear.
She said there's lots of things
Annie expressed her desires for Christmas gifts.
I'd like to see
She listed items she'd like, such as a bike and a doll.
Like a brand new bike beneath the tree
She wished for a new bike as a gift.
A dolly smiling back at me
Desired a doll that would bring her joy.
But the thing I want the most
Expressed her most heartfelt wish.
Then she whispered in his ear soft and low
She privately whispered her deepest desire to Santa.
She said
[No specific meaning given in the lyrics]
Christmas morning rolled around and she
On Christmas morning, Annie woke up early.
Woke up with the sun
She woke at sunrise.
She ran straight to the window
She hurried to check if Santa had visited.
If Santa Claus had come
She searched for signs of Santa's presence.
There was no sign of reindeer hoofs
There were no indications of Santa's visit.
No gifts of any kind
No gifts were visible.
Then she heard a knock upon the door
She heard someone knocking at the door.
And she opened it to find
She found a poor boy from the neighborhood at the door.
That poor little boy from across the road
A less fortunate boy from nearby visited her.
With a new coat and new shoes
The boy had received new clothes as a gift.
Little Annie jumped for joy and yelled
Little Annie was ecstatic that her wish came true.
"My Christmas wish came true!"
She joyfully exclaimed about her wish being granted.
She said there's lots of things
She reiterated her desires for gifts.
I'd like to see
Repeated her wish for a bike and a doll.
Like a brand new bike beneath the tree
Expressed her material desires again.
A dolly smiling back at me
Stated her ultimate wish once more.
But the thing I wanted most
Reiterated her deepest wish.
Was to see the kids with less than me
Expressed her desire to see less fortunate children receive gifts.
Find gifts beneath their Christmas tree
Wanted underprivileged kids to find presents under their trees.
Happiness and joy would be
Hoped for happiness and joy for those children.
The first thing on my list
Her top priority was unselfish and focused on others' joy.
A selfless dream came true
Annie's selfless dream became a reality.
Little Annie's Christmas wish
Little Annie's Christmas wish was selfless and altruistic.
