lyrics
Dear Santa, I know that it’s been a while
and I know that I’ve been out of touch
it’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year
and that everything’s changed so much
I still wake up when I hear footsteps
like I did when you used to come down from up north
but I go back to bed and remind myself that
you were always just traveling back and forth
you were no saint but I was no good
for goodness sake we did what we could
it was a gift but I think we misunderstood
I imagine you’ve been keeping busy
and you won’t spend this Christmas alone
yeah those five golden rings didn’t mean a thing
but I guess that I should have known
remember how we’d drive around all night
with the stars overhead and the snow coming down
I could never decide to be naughty or nice
when I knew you were coming to town
you were no saint but I was no good
for goodness sake we did what we could
it was a gift but I think we misunderstood
I hope that you’re well and you’re happy
days merry and bright that’s sincere
anyway I’ve been a good girl and I think I deserve
a new handbag and an iphone this year
and I know that I’ve been out of touch
it’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year
and that everything’s changed so much
I still wake up when I hear footsteps
like I did when you used to come down from up north
but I go back to bed and remind myself that
you were always just traveling back and forth
you were no saint but I was no good
for goodness sake we did what we could
it was a gift but I think we misunderstood
I imagine you’ve been keeping busy
and you won’t spend this Christmas alone
yeah those five golden rings didn’t mean a thing
but I guess that I should have known
remember how we’d drive around all night
with the stars overhead and the snow coming down
I could never decide to be naughty or nice
when I knew you were coming to town
you were no saint but I was no good
for goodness sake we did what we could
it was a gift but I think we misunderstood
I hope that you’re well and you’re happy
days merry and bright that’s sincere
anyway I’ve been a good girl and I think I deserve
a new handbag and an iphone this year
