I'm leaving a letter
Under my Christmas tree
A letter to Santa
Asking him to help me

This time last year
It was the last time
He was here with me
That is why I dread Christmas Eve

Just when I thought
All the pain was gone
Here comes the drummer boy
Beating his drum
Bringing memories
Of him back unto to me, oh

Why did he have to go?
Bring him back, I know you could
Oh, please, Santa, I've been good

I'm leaving a letter
(I'm leaving a letter)
Under my Christmas tree
(Under my tree)
A letter to Santa (Santa)
Asking him to help me

I'm leaving a letter
(I'm leaving a letter)
Under my Christmas tree
(Under my tree)
A letter to Santa (Santa)
Asking him to help me

If I had one wish
We would be together
This Christmas alone
Kissing under the mistletoe

Just when I thought everything was okay
I looked out and saw Frosty melting away
I knew then
I would never get over him, oh

Why did he have to go?
Bring him back, I know you could
Oh, please, Santa, I've been good

Take ease, child
Such time has come
And throughout the course of life
Change must occur
So as to teach those that live
Remember
Life is born from love
Therefore, it's love that brings life
So grieve not that which must be
And understand
That in order for the new to arrive
The old must leave
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
