Yes, it's true that I know Santa Though it was many years ago Before there was a Mrs. Claus And his beard was white as snow You know him as Santa But I still call him Nick Closer than two turtledoves We fell in love so quick Snow is falling Hearts are full of cheer Favorite time of year Sleigh bells ringing I still think of you Santa, dear You were my first love He held me by the fire Thought he'd always be my man Things don't last forever And Nicky had a plan When I recall the moment I always shed a tear He said, "I have a thought how to change the world But I just can't do it here" Children laughing They know he is near Christmas time is here Fires roaring My heart's soaring still Santa, dear You were my first love In my heart forever Though we parted ways Those were the days I feel his magic Through the holidays Santa, babe You were my first love You were my first love Santa, my first love You were my first love You were my first love Santa, my first love
