Vertical Horizon - The Man Who Would Be Santa lyrics

And the man who would be Santa slips into the room

And the hour of daylight's yet to come but he hopes they don't wake too soon

All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow

The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below

And he can hear the children dreaming

Uh, la, la, la...

And he says all I want is for you to have

A life you love and live

Take from me all I have to give

Because you are in my heart

And the man who would be Santa tells his son to write

And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night

Don't you worry, don't you cry now, you'll do just fine

Your mother and I love you

We think about you all the time

And he can see the train is leaving

Uh, la, la, la...

And he says all I want is for you to have

A life you love and live

Take from me all I have to give

Because you are in my heart

Now the old man sits and tells of days when time stood still

The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will

It's all the love that you gave me

All the dreams in the night

And I just want to thank you while the day's still light

But I can see the sun is setting

Uh, la, la, la...

And he says all I want is for you to have

A life you love and live

Take from me all I have to give

Because you are in my heart

And he says all I want is for you to have

A life you love and live

Take from me all I have to give

Because you are in my heart

You are in my heart
