I wish I could be Santa Claus, for just one day
I'd fill a bag with kindness
And I'd give it all away
I'd make the world a better place
I'd do that if I could
I love the way it feels inside when I do something good

I wish I could be Santa Claus
Imagine that
Although I could not fill his boots
I'd look great in his hat
I'd love the milk and cookies
And there's one more thing I'd do
I'd try to teach the kids to be a little more like you

We know that love can bless the heart
When tears begin to fall
We know that "love" is the message of the season
The greatest gift, and yes (yes), one size fits all

We wish we could be Santa Claus
Perhaps we can
The job's about the giving
It's not the suit and not the man
It's all about the caring
And the part that we can play
It's spreading joy and peace on earth
And love on Christmas Day

I wish
I wish I could be Santa Claus
