Children living within their dreams of Christmas
Many moonlight shadows across the rooftops above
Between the towering mountains peacefully alone
Even the cat senses the spirit of Christmas near
At the end of their bed holding the covers down
A certain love that shares their hopes and cares
Beyond Christmas stories bringing legends to bare
Lancelot takes control by the fire where it's warm
The children gathered around, clinging to every word
Snuggled together while their father turns the page
As the wind blows the windows fade from the cold
Through the frost etched panes, the children stare
The stars sparkle like twinkle lights on the tree
Filled with excitement that Christmas time brings
Can you imagine Santa flying through the heaven's
Guided by his Reindeer with his elves holding on tight
Who knows maybe Rudolph's nose needs another bulb
To travel the universe bringing Christmas smiles to all
Yes indeed Santa Clause, you have many miles to travel
With no time to waste, millions of children to please
As sleeping elves snuggled under blankets of warmth
The moon's shadows glisten, against the snowy night
Constantly the cold wind blows, frosting Santa's beard
Echos from afar, is it Santa's voice calling out
Distance miles around the globe where love glows
Bathing their hearts in spirit of Christmas cheer
As the silence of their minds are tucked away
Waiting for Santa to share their Christmas Day
Could it be a warm robe for mom for when she sews
Keeping the chill of winter at arms length
A chair for dad to ease the pain of a working day
To lean back by the fire keeping his heart aglow
While Lancelot, the cat, shares his lap once again
With his paws tucked in, as if he worked all day
Building blocks for Tommy with designs in his heart
With his vision of a city, staying with Santa Clause
Their stockings are hung ready for Santa Clause to fill
The earthquake that followed made the fireplace breathe
Suddenly the rooftop creaked, as the chimney trembled
He appeared suddenly, the chimney was clean
Santa Clause new it was dusted all the way down
Not wanting to get stuck while making his rounds
The children left short notes with cookies and milk
Written especially for eyes of only Santa Clause
Hidden away on another page, dreaming somewhat
Traveling memories of their world face to face
While the morning to come will share their faith
Smiles and laughter with designs in their hearts
Santa Clause knows the blessings love becomes
Only crumbs was left from the cookies and milk
Christmas gifts and things left under the tree
Quickly Santa Clause flew up the chimney with ease
Merry Christmas to all as he drifted out of sight
Only the stars waved goodby, while the Angels sang
Be safe Santa Clause, as our prayers are with you.
