I was downtown Christmas shopping   Such a busy city street   I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet   But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way   I stopped and froze right in my tracks   As I read what it had to say      Oh Santa, if you can't find me   We're livin' out here on the street   But I’ll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you   Daddy says he knows you'll try   But we might be too hard to find this year   Oh Santa, I’m right here      It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home   Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long   But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things   Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring      Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn   Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls      Oh Santa, if you can't find me   We're livin' out here on the street   But I’ll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you   Daddy says he knows you'll try   But we might be too hard to find this year   Oh Santa, I’m right here      I'm right here   I'm right here
