Lyrics
I was downtown Christmas shoppingSuch a busy city streetI don’t know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feetBut somethin’ made me pick it up, instead of goin’ on my wayI stopped and froze right in my tracksAs I read what it had to sayOh Santa, if you can’t find meWe’re livin’ out here on the streetBut I’ll be watchin’ for you, you’re not gonna forget me, are youDaddy says he knows you’ll tryBut we might be too hard to find this yearOh Santa, I’m right hereIt said, we don’t have our house no more, I wish we could go homeMama says we will some day and she prays it won’t be longBut they closed daddy’s factory and took most of our thingsNow Santa, I don’t need to much, so this year could you bringBring my mom a coat that’s warm, ’cause the one she’s got is awful tornMaybe dad could help you work, makin’ toys for boys and girlsOh Santa, if you can’t find meWe’re livin’ out here on the streetBut I’ll be watchin’ for you, you’re not gonna forget me, are youDaddy says he knows you’ll tryBut we might be too hard to find this yearOh Santa, I’m right hereI’m right hereI’m right here
