REBA MCENTIRE - Santa Claus Is Coming Back To Town lyrics

(Roxie Dean, Sonny Tillis)

He was always Santa Claus to them

Every year he'd magically appear here in our den

They would laugh and tease and say you look a lot like Dad

He'd just smile and ask, "Have you been good or bad?"

Oh, but life ain't always like a holiday

Some things change, and sometimes people go their seperate ways

He just called and said he'd like to be here for the kids

Wish them Merry Christmas when they open up their gifts

And even though it might be hard on me

How can I let them down?

So Santa Claus is coming back to town

Here it is Christmas Eve - the kids are sleeping

Lights flashing in the trees - I keep thinking

Tomorrow I'll see him, tomorrow I'll see him

I guess I ought to try to go to bed

I can't rehearse tomorrow any longer in my head

He'll walk in so nonchalant, as if he'd never gone

They'll be glad to see him, I'll be barely hanging on

And just like that he'll go and turn my whole world upside down

Santa Claus is coming back to town

No it's never really easy when this time of year rolls around

'Cause Santa Claus is coming back to town
