Hank Snow - A Letter To Santa Claus Lyrics
Dear Santa Claus, It's been so longSo long since I have writtenSince as a kid in happy house I dwelledI've moved from there and now I liveOn disillusion avenueAnd I've been here longer than I care to tellThe twinkling bells of hope and joyThe laughter that rang in my voiceHave silenced more and more as time goes byThose treasured gifts from other yearsAre tarnished, lost or stained with tearsSo Santa would you bring a new supplyCHORUSI'll be hanging up my empty heart this ChristmasPlease fill it full with love and hope and cheerMy faith is gone, my courage low, my patience ran out long agoDear Santa Claus I need so much this yearSPOKENBring a basket of forgetfulness to cover up the bitternessAnd the grudges that I've gathered through the yearsAnd leave a large bag of forgivenessTo give out to those who robbed meOf my laughter that sometimes filled my eyes with tearsAnd Santa please a box piled high with love and understandingThat I could share with all my neighbors and my friendsAnd leave one new temper cause I lost mineLost it one too many timesAnd make the new one longer if you canCHORUSI'll be hanging up my empty heart this ChristmasPlease fill it full with love and hope and cheerTuck in some smiles to give away and some to wear for every dayDear Santa Claus I need so much this yearSPOKENPlease Santa fill my empty heart this year
