La la la la ...
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lies will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
