Smokey Robinson The Miracles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go to sleep for it′s getting late
Santa Claus is coming and he can't wait
Close your eyes pray for everyone
That they get the wish when morning comes
He′ll bring you your carriage
He'll bring you your bike
And he'll leave and bring something
That mommy will like
So go to sleep
And when dawn breaks through
They′ll be lots of presents all brand new
Just for you

So close your eyes
Pray for everyone
That they get their wish when morning comes
He′ll bring you your carriage
He'll bring you your bike
And he′ll even bring something
That mommy will like

So go to sleep
And when dawn breaks through
They'll be lots of presents all brand new
Just for you
Just for you




Just for you
Just for you
