What Do You Have?

What Do You Have?

A Poem by Mariah

 

all she wanted for Christmas

all she wanted for Christmas

all she wanted for Christmas

was for somebody to care.

 

she didn't want porcelain dolls

she didn't want fancy books

she didn't want pink dresses

candy, or good looks

 

all she wanted for Christmas

was for somebody to care.

 

she didn't mind the Christmas tree

that she had never known

she didn't mind never having

a gift to call her own.

 

because all she wanted for Christmas

was for somebody to care.

 

somebody to tuck her in at night

somebody to hold her close

and tell her 'It's alright,'

somebody to tie her shoes

and someone to comb her hair

 

all she wanted for Christmas

was for somebody to care.
