It's Late But I Still Want To Write
With Christmas Only Ten Days Away
Santa I have all I want
Over the years I have asked for my share
Of presents and things I just had to have
Some I got some I didn't
I still waited till the next year thinking just maybe
It would come
By then I either forgot or was busy thinking of something else
As the years passed
I never forgot the joy and the thrill
Now I watch other children
With that same excitement
Like it was the only thing in the world that mattered
In a world where nothing is perfect
How bad could it be
To believe in the possibility
Now looking back and remembering a time when I was a little older
Thinking it would be impossible for one man to do it all
Bringing all those gifts in one night
Especially in such a small sled
Why do I have to know
I like getting presents and I love opening them on Christmas morning
I also love seeing what my brother gets
I know he would share and that means I just got twice as much
Well I realized at that moment
I want some things to be left unknown
With a little bit of doubt
Maybe hoping what if ?
Would life be that bad with a jolly man in red
Giving to everyone a little bit of love
So neatly wrapped up in a package
It really wasn't about the gifts after all
Because if it was I would remember every gift I have ever gotten
Instead I remember what really counts
My family being all together
Laughing and having so much fun
Thank you mom and dad
For letting me enjoy my childhood
Filled with dreams and fantasies
Believing in Santa Clause and the wonder
Of how great it is
To feel so special
Think of all the families that celebrate
A time for peace and harmony
Why does it have to stop ?
When it made you feel so good inside
After all these years
How could I still feel the same feeling ?
This time without one gift
I think there is more to Santa than what meets the eye
He has given me a chance to enjoy
All that is real and all that is make believe
