I'm sending a letter to Santa Claus

A letter I hope he'll receive

Oh I wonder if he will please remember me

When he calls on Christmas Eve

He'll get a lot of letters for playthings

From other girls and boys

But I want my soldier daddy

He's better than all the toys

And so I'm sending my letter to Santa Claus

To bring daddy safely home to me

I met a little fellow with a letter in his hand

He asked me if I'd post it in the box for Fairyland

I slipped it in the mailbox for that curly little head

It seemed to make him very happy

As he smiled and said

I'm sending a letter to Santa Claus

A letter I hope he'll receive

Oh I wonder if he will please remember me

When he calls on Christmas Eve

He'll get a lot of letters for playthings

From other little girls and boys

But I want my soldier daddy

He's better than all the toys

And so I'm sending this letter to Santa Claus

To bring daddy safely home to me
