I can hear her small feet running Past my bedroom down the hallway Trying not to wake me As she races for the tree Her sleepy eyes are wide with wonder 'Cause Santa drank his milk and left his crumbs I can't miss this moment Wait for me, wait for me She's filled with joy and innocence She reminds me of myself 'Cause watching her I see How my mother's eyes saw me And Christmas never felt like this I'm re-living all she's feeling Seeing reindeer's and believing Maybe Santa left me The doll that I wished for Through her life I've found the reason
Why we celebrate this season 'Cause the gift I treasure most Is standing next to me She's filled with joy and innocence She reminds me of myself 'Cause watching her I see How my mother's eyes saw me And Christmas never felt like this In my dreams I see a kinder world And this is my Christmas wish For my little girl She's filled with joy and innocence She reminds me of myself 'Cause watching her I see How my mother's eyes saw me And Christmas never felt Christmas never felt like this Oh, like this
