I can hear her small feet running   Past my bedroom, down the hallway   Trying not to wake me   As she races for the tree      Her sleepy eyes are wide with wonder   'Cause Santa drank his milk and left his crumbs   I can't miss this moment   Wait for me, wait for me      She's filled with joy and innocence   She reminds me of myself   'Cause watching her I see   How my mother's eyes saw me   And Christmas never felt like this      I'm reliving all she's feeling   Seeing reindeers and believing   Maybe Santa left me   The doll that I wished for      Through her life I've found the reason   Why we celebrate the season   'Cause the gift I treasure most   Is standing next to me      She's filled with joy and innocence   She reminds me of myself   'Cause watching her I see   How my mother's eyes saw me   And Christmas never felt like this      In my dreams   I see a kinder world   This is my Christmas wish   For my little girl      She's filled with joy and innocence   She reminds me of myself   'Cause watching her I see   How my mother's eyes saw me   And Christmas never felt like this
