Said my name is Tommy, I'm 7 years old I've been a good boy Santa, done everything I've been told I took good care of the toys you brought me last year I'll sit them by the cookies so you can see when you get here I almost forgot to tell you I got an A at school today I couldn't wait to get home and show my mom As I walked through the front door there she stood crying And when I asked "her mommy what's wrong" And she held me so tight as i wiped away her tears She said daddy wont be coming home for Christmas this year So dear Santa I don't want that brand new bike Or that big red fire truck with all its sirens and lights All I want for Christmas this year is Daddy home to take away my mommy's tears So dear Santa when you stop by on Christmas Eve Tell my daddy I love him and Merry Christmas from me Merry Christmas baby
