"Dear Santa, Would You Bring me a Sweetheart"
I woke up with this one morning in July of 2017, and since it was early enough in the year to try to get someone to record it, I thought I might shop it. First I thought of Burl Ives, but he's not available. Then I got busy doing other things (or not) and so here it is on my own page. I can live with that!



Dear Santa, Would You Bring Me a Sweetheart

Dear Santa, would you bring me a sweetheart?
One to love who always would be true,
The one I'd hoped to build my dream with
found another love,
Now I'm alone, and missing her              
makes my brown eyes blue

Oh, Santa, are you listening, can you hear me?
I dream about a special love who'll stay
I hope you'll find it in your power
To hang upon my mantle piece
A stocking filled with love this Christmas day.
        
(Instrumental break)

When the snowflakes clothe the hillside out my window
And wood smoke fills the air with thoughts of cheer,
The way things are... I'll be missin'
Someone made for hugs and kissin'
To make a merry Christmas Day
and happy times in the New Year

So Santa, if you're listening, and you hear me
The one I dream of can't be far away,
I hope you'll find it in your power
To leave beneath my Christmas tree
A package filled with love this Christmas Day.
