Dear Santa Claus

I've written a letter to Santa Claus,
Hoping he'll reward my faith,
I've written especially early to ask,
For my daddy back home and safe.

I cannot believe he is gone,
That daddy really has died,
So the doctor will be proved wrong,
When good old Saint Nick replies.

I gave it to the post girl,
And asked her to post it today,
I told her I wanted my daddy back,
Because he's gone away.

She asked me where daddy went to,
I said to Jesus with a smile,
But I told her not to worry,
Because daddy will be home in a while.

I went to daddy's funeral yesterday,
but there's now way he was there,
because I could feel daddy smiling,
His face was just hiding somewhere.

So it's not goodbye to daddy,
I will see him and I don't know when
but I do know why, because Santa Claus will reply,
and daddy will come home again.

And daddy will come home again.
