I'll Believe In You

I don't want a check that's made out to cash
Or a corp'rate regift from some secret stash
I'd like a day with my dad
Just a day? Make that two
If you can do that, Santa, i'll believe in you.

I don't want a trip to some hip salon
Or trendy perfume i'll never put on
I'd like to feel like he cares
Even if it's not true.

If you can do that, Santa, i'll believe in you
Even though it's been years
Since you've heard from me
I thought it was worth a shot
If it's true that you're magic
I guarantee we could use all the magic you've got.

I can get you some cookies if that's what it takes
I've heard stories and I know the deal.

You just slide down the chimney and fix our mistakes
Now if only I thought you were real.

If you were real
I guess that's our list
Our letter is done
Is it really a list if it adds up to one?

Make him part of our lives, not just passing
Through. If you can do that, Santa
I'll believe in you
Yes, if you do that, Santa, i'll believe in you!
So good luck, Santa, here's hoping you come through.

Signed, Emily
And Michael too.
