I was downtown Christmas shopping  Such a busy city street  I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet  But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way  I stopped and froze right in my tracks  As I read what it had to say    Oh Santa, if you can't find me  We're livin' out here on the street  But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you  Daddy says he knows you'll try  But we might be too hard to find this year  Oh Santa, I'm right here    It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home  Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long  But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things  Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring    Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn  Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls    Oh Santa, if you can't find me  We're livin' out here on the street  But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you  Daddy says he knows you'll try  But we might be too hard to find this year  Oh Santa, I'm right here    I'm right here  I'm right here
