lyrics

Written by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri

I’m wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it’s far
He’ll find me Christmas Eve
I guess that Santa’s busy
Cause he’s never come around
I think of him
When Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It’s hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends who come around
It’s so much fun
When Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children
Wrapped in red and green
All the things I’ve heard about
But never really seen
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa’s on his way

When Santa’s sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lost will now be found
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town
