A
I was out on the road it was a beautiful day
I was cruisin pretty fast cuz I like it that way.
This car passed my by he wasn’t fooling around
It was a bright red beauty with the top pulled down
It was Santa Clause and he was driving in a brand new car
Santa traded in his sleigh de bop do bop
Santa traded in his sleigh
Santa traded in his sleigh….. He took that worn out sleigh and he gave it away
You may see him driving by today
in his 4 on the floor cherry red cabriolet.
Chorus:
go santa go
Go santa go
You gotta see Santa go
Watch him go
Santa traded in his sleigh, today.
Lead
Verse 2
Now I gotta tell you it was hard to believe
I put the pedal to the metal trying to match his speed
He smiled at me and slowed way down
When I saw that his wheels weren’t even touching the ground.
And he winked at me and away he flew
I swear it’s the truth that I’m telling to you.
Santa traded in his sleigh, yeah he did
Santa traded in his sleigh
He took that worn out thing that had seen better days
And he traded it in for a red cabriolet.
Santa traded in his sleigh... today
go santa go
Go Santa go
Go santa go
Go santa go
Give the people what they want and when it comes to me,
I’d like a cabriolet like yours beside my christmas tree.

Christmas Poem (E) 98BPM. Josh's Song
Everything falls into place, but a piece is missing
I keep searching for you
You were here from the start, and so I’d expect to
See you sitting there like you’d do.
All I ever wanted to say was written in this poem.
That I keep locked away ‘til Christmas morning
It's what you left for me, so I remember,
I remember.. each December
Something here is not right, I get a tingling feeling
Something I lost or forgot
Another Christmas party that left me empty
Everything is fine, but it’s not
All I ever wanted to say was written in this poem.
That you left for me, those days, how I miss you
Funny how the year has flown by, like a film that’s over
Just blink and it's gone, it's gone.
Bridge/Round
I make my way to the silence of my room
Not that I’m trying to hide
I feel your Spirit swirling all around me as I look into my poem and I cry,
As I read my poem (I remember)
sing my poem (how I miss you)
I hear my poem, I sing my poem outloud
All I ever wanted to say was written in this poem.
That I keep locked away, Till I read it every Christmas morning
I’m gonna make it ok,
All I ever wanted to say...

Palm trees would rustle in the wind, it was dry season again
It was Christmas time once more. Once more..
