Vertical Horizon - The Man Who Would Be Santa (edit version) 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

Chorus 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

Chorus

Now the old man sit's and tells
Of days when time stood still
The hours always seem to fade
But the memory never will
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

Chorus
