Christmas Carol — текст песни (Skip Ewing)

I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four climbed up on to my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what`s your name and what can Santa give to you

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good
She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And I`m glad she wasn`t close enough to see old Santa cry

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
And made a few arrangements with the County Children`s Home
And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol won`t ever have to say

My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well Merry Christmas Carol
I love you, welcome home
