Santa of Rue Almaine

(Verse 1) I remember that Christmas, oh, back in ‘92, Lights on every window, a chill in the air so blue. Momma baked her cookies, the scent of gingerbread, We’d hang up our stockings, sleep tight in our beds. (Chorus) Oh, the Santa of Rue Almaine, In the moonlight, he called my name. With a heart full of joy, and a sleigh full of dreams, He brought hope to a boy, or so it seems. (Verse 2) The snowflakes were dancing, as we rushed to the door, With laughter and wonder, I could hear children’s roar. Down the street he’d come, with a jolly old grin, His red suit was glowing, like a light from within. (Chorus) Oh, the Santa of Rue Almaine, In the moonlight, he called my name. With a heart full of joy, and a sleigh full of dreams, He brought hope to a boy, or so it seems. (Verse 3) I can still feel his laughter, like a warm summer rain, As he whispered the secrets, of all joy and the pain. He shared tales of kindness, and gave me a toy, In that moment, I knew, I was his proud boy. (Chorus) Oh, the Santa of Rue Almaine, In the moonlight, he called my name. With a heart full of joy, and a sleigh full of dreams, He brought hope to a boy, or so it seems. (Bridge) Years have gone by, but the memories stay, Of candy canes, and firelight, on that cold winter's day. Now I’m grown, but I chase those sweet highs, With a heart that remembers, through all of life’s ties. (Chorus) Oh, the Santa of Rue Almaine, In the moonlight, he called my name. With a heart full of joy, and a sleigh full of dreams, He brought hope to a boy, or so it seems. (Outro) So here’s to the magic, and the love that we share, For the Santa of Rue Almaine, still lingers in the air. With each holiday season, I’ll carry his flame, For the magic of childhood will always remain.
