(Guitar Starts)
C                                  Dm
Once upon a time in a town like this a little girl made a great big wish
F                                 C
To fill the world of happiness and be on Santa's magic list

"I got dreams and I got love, I got my feet on the ground and family above,
       F                                         C
Can you send some happiness with my best to the rest of the people of the east and the west."
 C                                   Dm
And maybe every once in a while you'll give my grandma a reason to smile
F                               C
Tis the season with smile It's cold but we'll be freezing in style
C                              Dm
Let me meet a girl one day that wants to spread some love this way

We can let some souls run free and she can open some happiness with me

I know you're out there, I hear your reindeer 
          F                       C
I see the snow where your boots have been
          C                        Dm
