Reba McEntire - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town lyrics

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
