Lyrics
Waiting For Santa
words & music by Dennis Coats / Five String Music / BMI
I was searching out the window into Decembers night
crystal clear, the time is near for Santa Claus
pointing to the northern star from childhood memories
my little boy and me, waiting for Santa
Singing Christmas melodies 'til we were half asleep
cookies baking, children waiting for Santa Claus
but frosty Christmas morning seemed so far away
eyes went heavy dreaming of merry Christmas day
(Bridge)
then I heard jingle bells ringing in the sky
I saw shadows of reindeer from the corner of my eye
and the softest red glow touched the winter snow
but sleepy eyes couldn't rise to greet Santa
I was caught in the season of a little boys dream
when I'm sure I heard a twinkling in this Christmas eve
rustling of candy canes, and presents 'neath the tree
now silently Santa woke the little boy in me
(Bridge)
then I heard jingle bells ringing in the sky
I saw shadows of reindeer from the corner of my eye
and the softest red glow touched the winter snow
but sleepy eyes couldn't rise to greet Santa
I fell asleep wating for Santa
once again last night.
