[Verse 1]
G                                    C
Daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die

Oh those words from my little girl
          G
They just really broke my heart
                                             C
Since her mother died our world’s been torn apart
                             C7                  F
And the tears filled my eyes till I could hardly see
     G                                 C
As I heard the words that Lisa said to me

[Chorus]
                        G
Daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die
                                        C
Like my momma did when she left you and I
                                 G
Or will he live forever like the stars in the sky
                                        C
Oh daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die

[Verse 2]
C
  I said now honey don’t you worry
         G
Let your heart be full of cheer
G
Cause if you live a hundred Christmas’
                     C
Santa Clause will be near
C
And as I sit down beside her
                      F
It was such a painful thing
              G                            C
For there was not enough words for me to explain

[Chorus]
                        G
Daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die
                                        C
Like my momma did when she left you and I
                                 G
Or will he live forever like the stars in the sky
                                        C
Oh daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die
   G                                    C  C
Oh daddy will Santa Clause ever have to die

[Outro]
G
  No Lisa, honey Santa loves you
                            C
Old Santa Clause will never die
