Old Santa's Sleigh (I Want to Believe)
©2006 Tim Wheeler

Wake up Sleepy-Head
Heard a noise upon the roof
I'm thinking that it might be Santa Claus
Was it the sound of his sled
Or the clip of a reindeer's hoof
I don't know what else could be the cause

Then I woke up from my dream
And I realized the truth
but I recognized the feeling I had not felt since my youth.

I want to believe in that Jolly Old Man
I want to believe. I don't want to understand.
I want to wake up and feel the way I felt that day
The time I thought I saw Old Santa's Sleigh

I was just a pup
We were riding in the car
Heading home from Church that Christmas Eve
When my daddy cried, “Look Up!”
“Underneath that shining star!”
I saw something you would not believe

My heart leapt in my chest
I swear I saw St. Nick
I even caught a flash of Rudolph's nose.

I want to believe in that Jolly Old Man
I want to believe. I don't want to understand.
I want to wake up and feel the way I felt that day
The Time I thought I saw Ol' Santa's Sleigh

There's so much that I have reasoned away
But I cannot forget the way I felt that day.

I want to believe in that jolly old man
I want to believe. I don't have to understand.
I want to wake up and feel the way I felt that day
The Time I thought I saw Ol' Santa's Sleigh

I want to wake up and feel the way I felt that day
The Time I got to see Ol' Santa's Sleigh
