• The best presents don't come in ribbons and bows
    like love
    like hope
    like friendship
    But why is that we
    never
    ever
    ever
    think to ask Santa for them?
    "I want a doll."
    "I want jewelry."
    I want toy cars."
    Poor Santa, he never receives the honor of bringing
    love
    hope
    friendship
    and making people happy when he does
    never
    ever
    ever
    Poor Santa, he must bring what you asked for
    that you will love
    you will play with
    you will cherish
    if only for a day, but a day isn't the limit
    on love
    on hope
    on friendship
    They can last forever
    So why
    oh why
    tell me why
    we never ask him for them?
    The greatest
    long-lasting
    joyful gifts
    that anyone could ask for
    Poor Santa, he must give us what we ask for
    like dolls
    like jewelry
    like toy cars
    so that we will be happy, because we know not what
    love
    hope
    and friendship
    are until we see it happening
    Could take days
    months
    years
    But poor Santa, we don't want to wait that long
    We want dolls
    and jewelry
    and toy cars
    for instant pleasure and happiness
    Poor Santa
    Lonely Santa
    Hopeful Santa
    So he'll wait until we come around to asking him
    He'll wait
    and hope
    and ponder
    and think about what we'll do when we come around, think
    wishful thoughts
    wishful hopes
    wishful thinking
