I Believe (Trip with Santa)

One Christmas Eve, when I was little

Had my eyes wide open, and my head on my pillow

Figure skating through the possibilities

Of talking dolls and monkeys with tambourines

I fought sleep

In the distance, thought I heard bells jingle

Couldn’t believe my eyes, as I tiptoed to the window

A flying saucer, guided by a big red gleam

Hovering over suburban street trees

I wondered if it was a dream

Space captain, can you send me down a beam?

‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see

These earthly troubles from a million miles away

All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy

Like a tidal wave, with the light of seven suns

I snuck outside and there he was

In a red suit, beard as bright white as stars glow

With a smile that I’d always known

To greet me

Standing in the open neon doors

Of a shiny green spaceship, he welcomed me aboard

Every Christmas since, I’ve waited on those neon lights

To take me on another holiday joy ride

I believe

Santa, can you send me down a beam?

‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see

These earthly troubles from a million miles away

All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy

All I want for Christmas is a trip with Santa

All I want for Christmas is a trip with Santa

Through the galaxy

I want to float through the stars again Christmas Eve

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

Little green elves in silver suits

Brought translucent platters of unusual foods

And we danced and sang and watched

As the earth turned into a tiny little dot

Faded out of view

Took toys to the kids on mars

Stopped at Jupiter’s ice cream bar

Decorated Saturn’s rings with mistletoe and evergreens

Did I mention cyborg reindeer with laser eyes?

And Rudolph with his nose so bright

…what a night!

Santa, can you send me down a beam?

‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see

These earthly troubles from a million miles away

All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy

Oh, all I want for Christmas is a trip with Santa

All I want for Christmas is a trip with Santa

Through the galaxy

I want to float through the stars again

I want to float through the stars again

I want to float through the stars again this Christmas Eve
