Lyrics
This Christmas Eve when you're asleep
Just dream a dream of me
Although I'm far away I'll be with you
This Christmas Day when you awake
Look underneath the tree
There'll be a letter there to you from me
Asking you if you'll be mine
Forever and a day
So we'll never be apart on Christmas Day
When children sing and sleighbells ring
And fields are filled with snow
Hold my letter close and think of me
And know that soon I'll be with you
Forever and a day
And I'll hold you in my arms
You'll stay closest to my heart
And we'll never be apart
On Christmas Day
