Once upon a northern city

Where I lay my head

Trying to hear saint nick's footsteps

Awake in my bed

All the presents I hope I'll get are runnin' through my mind

But I'm not sure santa's real anymore

'cause I heard it from my teacher at school

I don't care what they say to me.

'cause I still believe it'll be the best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)

The best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)

Many years have passed since then and

More has been revealed

Now I sit with all my children

I know santa's real

I can't wait to tuck them in tonight

'cause I need a moment with the love of my life

I don't think she could mean more to me.

'cause I still believe it'll be the best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)

The best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)

I remember those dark christmas days

When fairy lights would vanish in the haze

Sure, I heard a voice sayin' "stick around" to me

'cause you will believe, you and your family

Just you wait and see.

It'll be the best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)

The best christmas ever

(The best christmas ever)

(The best christmas ever)
