Lyrics
English: My gift for Christmas is just a prayer / No gift is greater to show I care / You won't be with us to share this Christmas / But I will pray this holiday / This prayer I'm sending is filled with love / You'll see it glowing from up above / No greater treasure could ever measure / To show I care that just a prayer
