The Man Who Would Be Santa Lyrics
And the man who would be Santa slips into the room
And the hour of daylight's yet to come, but he hopes they don't wake too soon
All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow
The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below
And he can hear the children dreaming
Chorus:
Ooh la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la
And he says
All I want is for you to have
A life you love and live
Take from me all I have to give
Because you are in my heart
And the man who would be Santa tells his son to write
And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night
Don't you worry don't you cry now you'll do just fine
Your mother and I love you
We think about you all the time
And he can see the train is leaving
Chorus
Now the old man sits and tells of days when time stood still
The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will
And all the love that you gave me
All the dreams in the night
And I just want to thank you while the day's still light
But I can see the sun is setting
Chorus
And the hour of daylight's yet to come, but he hopes they don't wake too soon
All the presents wrapped in paper and tied with a bow
The children sleep upstairs and Santa works below
And he can hear the children dreaming
Ooh la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la
And he says
All I want is for you to have
A life you love and live
Take from me all I have to give
Because you are in my heart
And to call him if he needs him in the middle of the night
Don't you worry don't you cry now you'll do just fine
Your mother and I love you
We think about you all the time
And he can see the train is leaving
The hours always seem to fade but the memory never will
And all the love that you gave me
All the dreams in the night
And I just want to thank you while the day's still light
But I can see the sun is setting

Cannot believe no one has commented on this song yet! Great song about a father's love for his children. One of VH's best.
Goodness. This is gorgeous, like a lot of their early work. Lovely lyrics, meaning and harmonies.
