Don't let me dream of love again
If it's a fleeting ghost
Next year
Santa, let me see if his heart is true
'Cause I can't give my everything
If he won't follow through
Next year
The lights are shining all around
I'm trying hard to stay calm
But when I catch him smiling
Near the tree, my heart is drawn
Carols echo through the night
But I won't sing along
Not until I'm sure it's love
Not just a passing song
If it's forever he's dreaming of
By next Christmas
I'll be strong enough for love
Santa, let me know
Are you listening close?
Don't let me dream of love again
If it's a fleeting ghost
Next year
Santa, let me see if his heart is true
'Cause I can't give my everything
If he won't follow through
Next year
I've walked this path before
Fell for whispers in the glow
But when New Year's morning came
His warmth was just for show
Now I long for someone real
A fire in the snow
But how can I believe
This isn't just another show?
Is it love that he's dreaming of?
By next Christmas
I'll know if it's enough
Santa, let me know
Are you listening close?
Don't let me dream of love again
If it's a fleeting ghost
Next year
Santa, let me see if his heart is true
'Cause I can't give my everything
If he won't follow through
Next year
I just want to hold him tight, oh-oh-oh
Feel his arms on snowy nights, oh-oh-oh
But I won't make the same mistake
This time my heart will never break
Oh, no more
Santa, please, if he's for me
Let me see, oh, let me see
Santa, let me know
Are you listening close?
Don't let me dream of love again
If it's a fleeting ghost
Next year
Santa, let me see
If his heart is true
'Cause I can't give my everything
If he won't follow through
Next year
Santa, let me know
Are you listening close?
(Don't let me dream)
Don't let me dream of love again
If it's a fleeting ghost
Next year
Santa, let me see
If his heart is true
'Cause I can't give my everything
If he won't follow through
Next year
