Ever wonder why I don't cry for tomorrow
Had a mother down on when they need to prey
She would tell me all the good news to cleanse all my sorrow
I sing about all that good news on Christmas day
We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and candied yams
We would pray and give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears
Hold back my tears
When I think about the gifts they gave to me
If I had one wish, one gift to give this day
It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day
She would say, "Children, go into your closets
Pick your nicest things and prepare them to give away
There's some children down the street with no toys which to play
That's the kinda thing you'd do on Christmas day."
We would all hold hands around the dinner table
She made turkey, greens, cornbread and candied yams
We would pray and say grace then give the food away
That's the kinda thing you do on Christmas day
Hold back my tears
Hold back my tears
When I think about the gifts she gave to me
If I had one wish, one gift to get that day
It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day
If I had one wish, one wish to get that day
It would be to kiss my momma on Christmas day
If I had one wish, one thing that I could say
It would be "Mamma, I love you this Christmas day."

Gregory Porter è un cantante e compositore di jazz statunitense nato a Los Angeles, California, nel 1973. Dopo aver studiato al prestigioso Berklee College of Music, Porter ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale come musicista di sessione prima di emergere come artista solista negli anni 2010. Il suo stile vocale profondo e ricco, influenzato da artisti come Nat King Cole e Billie Holiday, lo ha rapidamente consacrato come una delle voci più importanti del jazz contemporaneo. Porter è noto per le sue performance emozionanti e i testi poetici che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, speranza e spiritualità. Tra i suoi album più apprezzati figurano "Liquid Spirit" (2013), vincitore del Grammy Award per il miglior album di jazz vocale, e "Take Me to the Alley" (2016). Alcuni dei brani più rappresentativi di Porter includono "Liquid Spirit", "Hey Laura", e "Don't Lose Your Steam".
