And the man who would be Santa slips into the room 
And the hour of daylight's yet to come but he hopes they don't wake too soon 
All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow 
The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below 
And he can hear the children dreaming  
 
[Chorus] 
And he says  
All I want is for you to have  
A life you love and live 
Take from me all I have to give 
Because you are in my heart  
 
And the man who would be Santa tells his son to write 
And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night 
Don't you worry don't you cry now you'll do just fine 
Your mother and I love you 
We think about you all the time 
And he can see the train is leaving  
 
[Chorus] 
 
Now the old man sits and tells of days when time stood still 
The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will 
All the love that you gave me 
All the dreams in the night 
And I just want to thank you while the day's still light 
But I can see the sun is setting  
 
[Chorus]
