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 reliving all she's feeling

Seeing reindeers and believing

Maybe Santa left me

The doll that I wished for



Through her life I've found the reason

Why we celebrate the 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

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 like this
