I was downtown Christmas shopping

Such a busy city street

I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet

But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way

I stopped and froze right in my tracks

As I read what it had to say



Oh Santa, if you can't find me

We're livin' out here on the street

But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you

Daddy says he knows you'll try

But we might be too hard to find this year

Oh Santa, I'm right here



It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home

Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long

But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things

Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring



Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn

Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls



Oh Santa, if you can't find me

We're livin' out here on the street

But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you

Daddy says he knows you'll try

But we might be too hard to find this year

Oh Santa, I'm right here



I'm right here

I'm right here
