He came stumbling home at midnight, with liquor on his breath
He forgot that it was Christmas, he, he'd forgotten where he'd been
A pretty tree was in the corner, prepared for Christmas day
A voice came from his young girl's room, and this he heard her say

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to be saved
He don't mean to break our hearts, forgive him, Lord, I pray
If you'll just help my daddy, I know that he will change
All I want for Christmas is my daddy to be saved

He listened there in silence as teardrops filled his eyes
He ran into his darling's room and knelt there by her side
He prayed, "Lord, if you will help me, and forgive me of my sins
You'll never have to hear my darling daughter say again"

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to be saved
He don't mean to break our hearts, forgive him, Lord, I pray
If you'll just help my daddy, I know that he will change
All I want for Christmas is my daddy to be saved

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to be saved
I love you, Daddy
