Sitting staring through the window watching snowflakes fall
Christmas is all around us but it's not the same at all
I only have one wish, I've put it on my Christmas list
Christmas lights are twinkling up and down the street ablaze
Out front stands guard the man we built of snow the other day
But it doesn't feel the same, why does it have to be this way?
Chorus
Dear Santa, I'm writing you, but it's not like years before
I only have one wish this year and it means a whole lot more
Santa it has been a while, since we have been alone
I only want one thing this year, I wish that Daddy could come home
Each night I hear Mom pray aloud right through the bedroom wall
She thinks I'm in my bed asleep, but it's not the case at all
I only have one wish, Santa please be sure to read my list
I won't forget that look I saw upon his face that day
Just before we said goodbye then he was on his way
Could you make my wish come true, Christmas would be white and not so blue
