Les Bohem - The Year I Dressed As Santa Claus Lyrics

The year I dressed as Santa Claus
We still had some hope left
The year I dressed as Santa Claus
We weren't out of rope yet
We had mistletoe
And don't you know
Presents lined the tree
I was still a young man then
You still believed in me

The year I dressed as Santa Claus
We put a quite a show
That year I dressed as Santa Claus
Don't seem that long ago
We sang Silent Night
The future bright
With promise love and song
But now there ain't no Santa Claus
And everything's all wrong

I got a feeling called the blues bud
All my Christmas cheer's been used up
Who gives a damn if I've been good
You want to tell me why I should
You keep your candy cane and tinsel
For some guy who plays to win still
A loser's carol I will sing
Of the gifts sad angels bring
On a lonely Christmas Eve

The year I dressed as Santa Claus
We still knew how to laugh
Now we don't wait on Santa Claus
And I don't know what happened
Did our hearts grow small
I don't recall
I didn't see it end
But one year I was Santa Claus
I'll never be again
