This Song Made Me Cry!

I woke up this morning adn turned on CMT as there was nothing else on, and what did I see? STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN on the country station! So this was weird as he's a Contemporary Christian recording artist and I was all hmmmmmm so of course I had to watch because he's like one of my all time favorite singers and he was talking about his new Christmas Album and I was like "oh joy of all joys another album that I can only listen to for 1 month out of every year" lol and then they showed his new music video from the title track of the album and I started crying.

It is about adoption, around Christmas time... and with Duane coming up on the 1 year mark of being adopted... it just hit a cord...

here are the lyrics:

All I Really Want
By Steven Curtis Chapman

Well I don’t know if you remember me or not
I’m one of the kids they brought in from the home
I was the red-haired boy in an old green flannel shirt
You may not have seen me – I was standing off alone
I didn’t come and talk to you, ‘cause that’s never worked before
And you’ll prob’ly never see this letter anyway
But just in case there’s something you can do to help me out
I’ll ask you one more time

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There’s so much I could ask for
But there’s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family

Well I guess I should go ahead and tell you now
If it’s really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But I’m really trying hard not to be bad
But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Well, maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything I’ve heard
Sounds like the greatest gift on earth would be a mom

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There’s so much I could ask for
But there’s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas

Is someone who’ll be there
To sing me “Happy Birthday”
For the next 100 years
And it’s OK if they’re not perfect
Well, even if they’re a little broken, that’s alright
‘Cause so am I

Well, I guess I should go
It’s almost time for bed
And maybe next time I write you
I’ll be at home

‘Cause all I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
Tell me I’ll never be alone
Someone whose love will never end
Of all that I could ask for
Well, there’s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas
All I really want for Christmas is a family

Just a family

That’s all I really need

Aw, those are such good lyrics! Almost makes me feel like crying. I want to adopt so badly, someday.

Toni,

that is such a wonderful set of lyrics. I think I want to look up this song and actually hear it.

if you go to his site you can find a link to click to hear it. I'm not sure if it is the full song though (stupid dial up!)

It's new so I'm not sure if you can find it online anywhere yet

He also has a charity that helps with financing families in the expensive adoption fees.... if you're interested go to his site and click on the "adoption" button and it will take you to the info...
