SANTA CLAUS (I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU)
(Fowler / Gentry / Gentry / Jarrard / Owen)

Alabama - 1985


You always come around this time of year
With your big ol' bag that's full of Christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know
Soon they'll hear the sounds of your reindeer

Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe
That you don't really come on Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know I've seen you
In sparking little eyes around the tree

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
The hour has arrived, it's time to play ol' Santa Clause tonight

SPOKEN:
Well I don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there really is a
Santa Clause. Especially if they've ever seen a little boy who's
just got his very first bike. Or if they've ever seen a little girl
with her arms wrapped around her baby doll so tight. And both of 'em
waking up Mama and Daddy way before daylight. And Grandma and
Grandpa just lookin' young and lovin' life. @Cause they know that
their grandkids gonna be alright. And Mama and Daddy, they'll be
waitin' up to answer ol' Santa's call. 'Cause tonight they're not
worried about payin' bills. Lord, they're just lovin' it all!

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid in all of us that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are sleepin' tight
We're turnin' out the lights and I'll be waiting up for you tonight

Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
Santa Claus, turnin' out the lights
Oh Santa Claus, ummmmmmmmmmmm
I still believe in you
