Santa, If You're There
A Heartfelt Christmas Prayer: Reaching Heaven for a Final Goodbye
Lyrics
Every Christmas morning I knew that you'd be calling
Reflecting on the past, anticipating a tradition of receiving a call every Christmas morning.
Today my phone will not make a sound
Expressing a change in the usual expectation that the phone will remain silent today.
You have gone forever
Acknowledging the permanent absence of someone dear.
Where don't really matter
Emphasizing that the specific location of the absence doesn't matter; the feeling of loss persists.
I feel your presence still all around
Feeling the continued presence of the departed person in the surroundings.
Now I'm praying just the way you used to
Engaging in prayer, reminiscent of the departed person's practices.
I'm not even religious but it brings me closer to you
Highlighting a spiritual connection, even for someone not traditionally religious.
So I hope that you can hear me
Expressing a desire for the departed to hear the thoughts and prayers.
Santa, if you're really there
Addressing Santa Claus as a symbolic figure associated with granting wishes during Christmas.
If you really really care
Seeking assurance of care from Santa Claus for a heartfelt request.
Help me sneak up into heaven just one time
Pleading for an opportunity to visit heaven briefly to convey a message.
I just wanna leave a kiss
Expressing a simple desire to leave a symbolic kiss for the departed.
Tell her that she's being missed
Requesting to convey the message of missing the departed to someone in heaven.
'Cause I never got a chance to say goodbye
Expressing regret for not having the chance to say goodbye to the departed.
Could you try?
Pleading for Santa Claus to attempt facilitating the request.
How I miss your cooking
Expressing a longing for the departed person's cooking and the memories associated with it.
The way that you were looking
Recollecting the way the departed person looked in specific situations.
When I told you there's a baby on the way
Recalling a moment when the news of a baby on the way was shared with the departed.
You took all this time to teach them songs and rhymes
Highlighting the time and effort spent by the departed in teaching songs and rhymes.
If you saw them now, I wonder what you'd say
Pondering the departed person's potential reaction to the current state of affairs.
Now I'm praying just the way you used to
Engaging in prayer, reminiscent of the departed person's practices.
I'm not even religious but it brings me closer to you
Reiterating a spiritual connection, despite not being traditionally religious.
So I hope that you can hear me
Expressing a desire for the departed to hear the thoughts and prayers.
