Story Behind The Song
Written for a girl I wanted to go out with and asked out before Christmas.
I knew she liked to wear stockings and suspenders so that's how I got the chorus line.

Lyrics
Well I hope my letter made it there on time
?Cause if so I know this Christmas will be fine
And if he comes good then I will wake to see
Stockings filled with you my love here next to me
Been as good as any boy could ever be
So don?t give me no stupid toy or tangerine
In asking for you I am asking for the world
But for me you see there is no other girl
On Christmas morning all I want is you
You?re the only stocking filler that will do
Other boys can have my toys
But I will not feel blue
If I wake up Christmas morning girl with you
I don?t want gold, no frankincense or myrrh
It?s a love that money can?t buy I prefer
And if I had you to hold then let me say
For me it would be Christmas everyday
On Christmas morning all I want is you
You?re the only stocking filler that will do
Other boys can have my toys
But I will not feel blue
If I wake up Christmas morning girl with you
Well Christmas day just can?t come soon enough
With snow below and mistletoe above
And know that you?re the gift I?m dreaming of
I?ll hold you and unwrap you with my love
On Christmas morning all I want is you
You?re the only stocking filler that will do
Other boys can have my toys
But I will not feel blue
If I wake up Christmas morning girl with you
On Christmas morning all I want is you
You?re the only stocking filler that will do
Other boys can have my toys
But I will not feel blue
If I wake up Christmas morning
Wake up Christmas morning
If I wake up Christmas morning girl with you
