Did you ever really start to cry over something you just wrote?
Well I'm writing you, my dear st nick, it's the saddest little note
Is it fair come this christmas eve that I should be alone,
When he knows how much I'm missing her, would you kindly bring her home?

This boy's letter to santa claus it's gonna tear him up,
When he reads how much I'm missing her it's gonna tear him up
I'm sure if all his reindeers could arrange room on his sleigh
Then I'd receive a big bright package and she'd be mine today

I'll be missing you come christmas, wishing hard, my dear,
Missing you come christmas, wishing you were here

Did you ever really start to cry over something that was said?
Well, I'm writing you, dear santa, it would be the saddest thing you ever read
Is it fair come this christmas time that I should be without you,
You know how much I need you, girl, won't you kindly help me through?

This boy's letter to santa claus it's gonna tear him up,
When he reads how much I'm missing her it's gonna tear him up
I'm sure he'll write a special note to remind him christmas eve
That he has to mend a broken heart that believes in make believe

I'll be missing you come christmas, wishing hard, my dear,
Missing you come christmas, wishing you were here

Right above his VIP we'll be ranking number one,
No sadder request will he receive he'll know it has to be done

Hey, santa, if you're my friend, please take heed, it's not pretend
This boy's letter to santa claus it's gonna tear him up,
When he reads how much I'm missing her it's gonna tear him up
I'm sure if all his reindeers could arrange room on his sleigh
Then I'd receive a big bright package and she'd be mine today

Oh, santa, I'll be missing you come christmas, wishing hard, my dear,
Missing you come christmas, wishing you were here
Missing you come christmas
Now I'll be missing you
Missing you come christmas, I'll be wishing you were here

Missing you come christmas
