Dear Santa, it's been a long, long while
Since I believed in magic or reindeer smiles
But here I am with a wish or two
Hoping maybe you'll make them true
Bring me more time with the ones I hold dear
Moments that linger, year after year
Not asking for gifts or glittering things
Just the warmth and the light that the season brings
Dear Santa, I know it sounds strange to say
But I'd love to feel Christmas the old-fashioned way
With carols and cocoa, and snow-covered streets
And laughter around where our family meets
Bring me more time with the ones I hold dear
Moments that linger, year after year
Not asking for gifts or glittering things
Just the warmth and the light that the season brings
And Santa, if you have a little room
A wish for the world that feels like it's bloomed
A little more kindness, a little less fear
Some peace for each heart as the new year draws near
Dear Santa, just one last thing on my list
A moment to feel that childhood bliss
When wonder was easy and magic was real
And love was a gift you could see and feel
Bring me more time with the ones I hold dear
Moments that linger, year after year
Not asking for gifts or glittering things
Just the warmth and the light that the season brings
So here's to the memories that glow and stay
And all the new ones that we'll make someday
Dear Santa, I'll leave this note by the tree
With hopes you'll remember the grown-ups like me
