Lyrics Dear Santa - Shelley Duvall

Dear Santa

I was half asleep in my bed last night
I thought a whole lot about Christmas day
I looked at the calendar-believe it or not
It was 24 days away!
So I thought I’d write a letter to my
Very good friend who lives up where
It’s very cold
I put this letter in an envelope
C/O Santa Claus-North Pole!
Dear Santa Claus
I’m writing because
I’ve got something special to say
You’re busy I know
But I had to let you know
What I wanted on Christmas day
I wouldn’t mind a dolly with long blonde hair
And make up on her face
And she would sleep with me in my bed
At night
Please send some clothes that she could wear
And a pretty litte ornament for her hair
I would cuddle her oh so very tight!
I couldn’t sleep a wink
I tossed and turned
Thinkin' ‘bout the things I want and said
Visions of presents goin' 'round and 'round
As dreams went through my head
Sugar plums, spice and everything nice
I could not quite make up my mind
When I look in my stocking on Christmas day
What in the world will I find?
Dear Santa Claus
You’re so far away
If you’re busy-then, well, it’s okay
But if you are not
I’d like it a lot
If you came to my house Christmas day!
You could bring along a coloring book
And lots of crayons, too
Bet I could paint your picture
Make it look a lot like you
I’ve really been a good girl
As good as I can be
So Santa please-remember me.
Dear Santa Claus
It’s getting late
I’m counting reindeer instead of sheep
Well I better go
Any minute I know
I will be fast asleep
(Don't forget me Santa Claus)
