My Only Wish (This Year)
Last night I took a walk in the snow
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?
I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off, it just said this:
“I know exactly what I want this year”
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
He’ll be all my own in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing:
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
Christmas Eve, I just can’t sleep
Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
‘Cause I heard that you’re coming to town
Santa, can you hear me?
I really hope that you’re on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Oh, please make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby (oh)
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
We’ll be all the love under the mistletoe
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
I hope my letter reaches you in time, oh yeah
Bring me love I can call all mine, oh yeah yeah
‘Cause I have been so good, so good this year
Can’t be alone under the mistletoe
He’s all I want in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here, oh yeah
Santa, that’s my only wish this year (ah)
Oh, Santa! (ah)
Can you hear me? (ah)
Oh, Santa (ah)
Well, he’s all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I’ll be waiting here, oh yeah
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
Santa, that’s my only wish this year
