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

(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.
