Dear Santa, how are you? It's been a year since you came Well my house is hard to find some times so i thought I’d write again I hear your magic Reindeer can go higher than a plane And you go as fast as lightning covering all the world's terrain But I bet when you’re up that high all the rooftops look the same Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane Dear Santa, I do confess at the times I was a pain I wore my muddy shoes inside after playing in the rain And there was that time that I sore lost after playing school yard games And I may have even been caught once or twice stealing candy canes And if I get a lump of coal or two I know I was to blame Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane You can see our little Christmas tree lights from the window pane And the pond next door it has a bird a heron or a crane I can sing a carol just for you a holiday refrain That way you won't forget our house the one on Cedar Lane I will leave some milk and cookies by the chimney on a tray Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane Oh Santa don't forget our old white house on Cedar Lane Ohh, the one on Cedar Lane

Well it's Christmas Night on Commonwealth By the sparkling Douglas fir We are nestled by the T.V. set It's only me and her Had a big day with the family Now it's time to settle in And just lay here in our pj’s ‘Till the New Year rolls in And the wind rattles the windows But inside it's oh so warm People gossip ‘bout the weather Saying we might get a storm But it's okay for us here We are happy either way Been watching Christmas Story Movie on T.V. all day And it's Christmas Oh it's that special time of year And it's Christmas Bring good tidings spread the cheer Merry Christmas Oh and a happy New Year to you Well that moonlit snowfall glistens Outside those pretty lights If you close your eyes and listen Hear them carol silent night And the only gift I’m wishing Is to hold you close tonight It's that special kind of feeling Only comes at Christmas time Well it's Christmas Night on Commonwealth By the sparkling Douglas fir We are nestled by the T.V. set It's only me and her Had a big day with the family Now it's time to settle in And just lay here in our pj’s ‘Till the New Year rolls in And it's Christmas Oh it's that special time of year And it's Christmas Bring good tidings spread the cheer Merry Christmas Oh and a happy New Year to you

My Christmas tree has coconuts My presents are wrapped with leaves How will Santa brings us gifts When we have no a chimney Instead of milk and cookies Leave a fresh loaf candied bread And a bucket filled with water So the reindeer don’t get dead My Christmas tree has coconuts My wreath attracts the bees Instead of using candy canes Lets string up cranberries And when we go a caroling We don’t start until you sleep So you can wake up to our song And offer us a treat My Christmas tree has coconuts No snow for Santa's sleigh Will the sand be fine enough To slide him on his way? On Christmas Eve we stay up late And have a dance party I get one present at midnight And prance around with glee My Christmas tree has coconuts My presents are wrapped with leaves How will Santa brings us gifts When we have no a chimney Instead of milk and cookies Leave a fresh loaf candied bread And a bucket filled with water So the reindeer don’t get dead My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My Christmas tree has coconuts My presents are wrapped with leaves

I play this record every time it starts to snows I want to tell you that I miss you, and let you know That spending christmas without you, is spending it alone Spending christmas without you, is spending it alone Christmas alone We can talk on the phone But it's not the same And we both know it's lame Roasting Chestnuts for one Doesn’t sound like much fun But crooners like Bing Help to lessen the sting When I'm running out of words to say, I say I love you And when you come home we will have our own christmas for two ‘Cuz spending christmas without you, is spending it alone Spending christmas without you, is spending it alone Christmas alone We can talk on the phone But it's not the same And we both know it's lame I pick up a book And read it aloud It help pass the time But there's no one around Christmas alone We can talk on the phone But it's not the same And we both know it's lame I put up the tree And hang up the lights But who could foresee Such lonely nights Christmas alone We can talk on the phone But it's not the same And we both know it's lame Roasting Chestnuts for one Doesn’t sound like much fun But crooners like bing Help to lessen the sting Christmas alone We can talk on the phone But it's not the same And we both know it's lame I pick up a book And read it aloud It help pass the time But there's no one around

I’m the mess I'm the debris Thats left behind When everyone leaves There's cigarette butts In the poor dead plants And the rug was moved So that we could dance There's somebody sleeping Under the stairs Confetti and stains On the floor and the chairs I’m a mess when, when winters here I’m the mess when no one is near The holidays have Come and gone I’m holding on To a happy song Now all that's left Is a memory When we held each other In front of the tree But the winter is Closing in And the dark Times begin I’m a mess when, when winters here I’m the mess when no one is near The night time frost I can’t shake from my bones I’m at a loss And trapped in my home I am tired When the suns not around Toes curled tight No warmth to be found Abandon my home Placed in the ground No lingering ghost I will not be found
