Dearest Santa

Would you listen and lend an ear

'Cause I only come around once a year

And this is for a very special cause

My name is Santa Claus

One Christmas Eve I visited a home

Where children live who've no home of their own

And though I brought them gifts galore

This is what one asked me for

"Dearest Santa, I don't want toys

Or choo-choo trains with lots of noise

I want a home like other boys

Christmas Day

Dearest Santa, I will be

Just as good as I can be

If you'll give me a family

Christmas Day"

I'm so lonesome, I'm so blue

Is there something you can do

Oh, please dear Santa, don't ignore

This little boy who's begging for

A mother whom he'll just adore

Christmas Day

I would be so proud and glad

If I could just say, "Meet my Dad"

So please dear Santa, heed my quest

And tell them I'll behave my best

That if they take me, they'll be blessed

Christmas Day
