Upon Your Window They Play
Your Blankets Snug Around You
Into Sleep You Drift Away.
-
I Bend To Gently Kiss You
When I See That On The Floor
There's A Letter Neatly Written
I Wonder Who It's For.
-
I Quietly Unfold It
Making Sure You're Still Asleep
It's A Christmas List For Santa
One My Heart Will Always Keep.
-
It Started Just As Always
With The Toys Seen On TV
A New Watch For Your Father
And A Winter Coat For me.
-
But As My Eyes Read On
I Could See That Deep Inside
There Were Many Things You WishedFor That Your Loving Heart Would Hide.
-
You Asked If Your Friend Molly
Could Have Another Dad
It Seems Her Father Hits Her
It Makes You Very Sad.
-
Then You Asked Dear Santa
If The Neighbors Down The Street
Could Find A Job, That He Might Have
Some Food, And Clothes, And Heat.
-
You Saw A Family On The News
Whose House Had Blown Away
"Dear Santa, Send Them Just One Thing A Place Where They Can Stay."
-
"And Santa, Those Four Cookies That
I Left You For A Treat,
Could You Take Them To The Children
Who Have Nothing Else To Eat."
-
"Do You Know That Little Bear I Have,
The One I Love So Dear?
I'm Leaving It For You To Take
To Africa This Year".
-
"And As You Fly Your Reindeer
On This Night Of Jesus' Birth,
Could Your Magic Bring To Everyone
Good Will And Peace On Earth".
-
"There's One Last Thing Before You Go,
So Grateful I Would Be,
if You'd Smile At Baby Jesus In The Manger By Our Tree.
- I Pulled The Letter Close To Me
I Felt It Melt My Heart
Those Tiny Hands Had Written
What No Other could Impart.
- "And A Little Child Shall Lead Them,"
Was Whispered In My Ear,
As I Watched You Sleep On Christmas Eve While Santa Claus Was Here.
