Verse
G
A precious part of me climbs upon my knee
D7 G
With brown eyes sparkling bright
C D7 G Em
To young to wonder why but old enough to know
C A7 D7
That's Santa Claus is coming tonight
G
No matter how I try to control what's deep inside
D7 G
Sometimes I have to cry a tear of love
C D7 G Em
When she reaches out her two little arms and says
G D7 G
I love you and mommy this much
Two little feet that softly tip toes
D7 G
Over to the Christmas tree
C D7 G Em
As silent as can be she turns and looks at me
A7 D7
Amazed at all the pretty things she sees
G
Two little hands that can't untie the ribbon
D7 G
But they can tear the paper just the same
C D7 G C
A soft little voice saying mommy and daddy
G D7 G
Look what Santa brought me
C D7 G
Darling what more could we ask for
C D7 G
And to know that she's a part of you and me
C D7 G C
Darling let's be thankful for this blessing sent from heaven
G D7 G
The greatest Christmas gift of all just fell asleep
D7 G
The greatest Christmas gift of all just fell asleep
