[Verse] Little girl just a-holdin' her mommy's hand Big city Santa Claus parade Starin' at the big man in the red suit Ridin' in his big red sleigh [Verse] Snowflakes fall on her woolen hat Streetlights shimmer, the air turns gold Every laugh feels twice as loud In a world that feels safe and whole [Bridge] A teddy bear A teddy bear I want a teddy bear for Christmas [Verse] She's goin' through her list in her head Dolls and candy and a brand-new sled She gets to the end and starts it again Momma leans down Says "Baby Don't forget" [Verse] She bites her lip, tries not to grin Counts her wishes one more time Hope wrapped up in tinsel and dreams Every little star aligns [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause tonight the world feels small And magic still feels true If she believes hard enough Maybe dreams will all come true [Chorus] You gotta leave some cookies on a plate You gotta leave some milk by the the fireplace And remember You're a big girl now So you better be good If you really wanna see him comin' down You gotta tell him now When he gets to your house And you gotta make sure he hears you say "I want a teddy bear for Christmas" [Verse] Little girl starts sittin' on Santa's knee Big brown eyes light up Starin' at the big man in the red suit He said "Baby What do you want?" [Verse] Her feet don’t reach the shiny floor Her heart beats fast and loud All the noise just fades away In this moment, in this crowd [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause tonight the world feels small And magic still feels true If she believes hard enough Maybe dreams will all come true [Chorus] You gotta leave some cookies on a plate You gotta leave some milk by the the fireplace And remember You're a big girl now So you better be good If you really wanna see me comin' down You gotta tell me now When I get to your house And you gotta make sure I hear you say "I want a teddy bear for Christmas"
