I was at work today and heard this song on the radio. It's a country song and a little girl was singing it. I've searched for the lyrics on the internet but can't seem to come across them. I did come across this. After hearing this song, I was a complete mess at work. I cried for a while.
The Bring Him Home Santa song is based on a fictitious theme written by Tim Johnson and Rory Feek of Song Trust, of a six-year-old girl who misses her father who is overseas for Christmas and asks Santa to bring him home for her in return to all the gifts that he gave her.
I also read that it took the little girl a while before she could actually make it through the song without crying because every time she though of some other little girl who wouldn't have their daddy home for Christmas.

I found the lyrics. and um totally started crying at work and totally not wearing waterproof mascara LOL
"Bring Him Home Santa"
Dear Santa, I need to change my Christmas list
There's one big thing I missed
You see my Daddy's working for away from here
And I know Santa, I asked for a Barbie doll
And a brand new soccer ball
But I'd trade it all, for just one gift this year...
Bring him home Santa, bring him home to mom and me
Let us wake up Christmas morning, and find him standing by our tree
You can pick him up on your way, he could ride there in your sleigh
Don't make him spend Christmas all alone
Bring him home
And Santa, here's a picture that I drew
Of him in his dress blues
Mama says our country needs him over there
And you know Santa, this whole year I've been good
And I was hopin' that would
Do all you could to answer her prayer...
Bring him home Santa, bring him home to mom and me
Let us wake up Christmas morning, and find him standing by our tree
You can pick him up on your way, he could ride there in your sleigh
Don't make him spend Christmas all alone
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

i have this song on my myspace profile..i love it! i cry everytime i hear it...my mom asked me if i had heard it the other day..then she said there is alot of controversy over it..people saying that they are exploiting the little girl...funny how people cant just enjoy music...its a great song!
I love a hate this song, I love it because it is so sweet and it does show how a lot of kids are feeling but I hate the fact that kids are even feeling this way.
