The Sparkle in Santa’s Eye
There once was a boy and his little sister
They both cherished Christmas morning so
Yes, they would love to gather their sleds
And go out in the snow
Their mom would love to make cookies for them
and surprise them all the more
Then dad and mom would take them both
to shop at the favorite store
Then they met Santa Claus in the middle of the mall
Next to a Christmas tree, ever so tall
The children looked sleepy, ready for a nap
Then Santa put the kids one at a time on his lap
He asked them for their Christmas list,
He asked them not to fret
For he and his reindeer, including Rudolph
Would honor their list, you could bet
The children went home, the parents tucked
them to bed
Can you imagine the thoughts going through
a child’s head
The Christmas tree, full of beauty and light
The choir members singing Christmas carols
throughout the snowy night
Then at that moment the whole house shook
The kids both decided to take a look
An object in the sky, like an angel bringing joy
A joyful remembrance for this little girl and boy
The morning came, the children’s gifts were
as beautiful as the angel in the sky
But what stuck in their minds the most
Was the sparkle in Santa’s eye.
