Christmas To Me

Dear Santa, it's been a while since I wrote you a line

I stopped believing when this heart of mine

Learned that Christmas wasn't made for a boy like me

No stockings, no presents, no family tree

The lights on the houses felt colder than snow

While the carols reminded me of all I don't know

Faith, hope, and love, just stories they tell

For a boy with empty hands and a heart that fell

So I never asked for anything

Not a gift, not a prayer, not a single thing

I thought your sleigh would pass me by

Just another lonely Christmas night

But if you're listening, here's my plea

Why did she have to bring Christmas to me

Only to leave

She came like a star

Lighting up my sky

Taught me to laugh

Made me question why

I ever gave up on the season of cheer

She painted my December with warmth so near

For the first time I sang to the carols she'd play

She made snowflakes feel like a sweet ballet

But Santa, she's gone now, her glow's burned away

And I'm left with this Christmas that she made me love

So I'm writing to you, though I never believed

Can you bring back the joy she made me receive

Or take back the faith, take back the light

If she's not here, nothing feels right

Santa, this letter is my last decree

Why did she have to bring Christmas to me

Only to leave

I sit by the tree she made me put up

The ornaments laugh, the memories cut

I see her face in the glow of the fire

And every gift she gave rekindles desire

But what's the point of this season of gold

When the love she brought is gone so cold

Dear Santa, I'll leave this note by the tree

If you can't bring her back, just take Christmas from me

Because the lights have dimmed, the songs fade away

And I can't face another silent holiday

She gave me hope, then left it to grieve

Why did she make me believe

Only to leave

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh
