[Verse 1]
Laying back in my easy chair
Late last Christmas eve
Silent night, twinkling lights
Presents around the tree
I heard my little girl's two bare feet
Coming down the stairs
She was sad as I looked over
Dragging her teddy bear
[Chorus]
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She was not happy like angels ought to be
She was crying when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
[Verse 2]
So, with her head on my shoulder
And her tears mixed with mine
I thought how little baby Jesus
Gets left out at Christmas time
It is not about the money
Oh, money cannot buy love
And I saw the light that Christmas night
With help from up above
[Chorus]
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She was not happy like angels ought to be
She was crying when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
[Outro]
She said that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
Laying back in my easy chair
Late last Christmas eve
Silent night, twinkling lights
Presents around the tree
I heard my little girl's two bare feet
Coming down the stairs
She was sad as I looked over
Dragging her teddy bear
[Chorus]
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She was not happy like angels ought to be
She was crying when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
[Verse 2]
So, with her head on my shoulder
And her tears mixed with mine
I thought how little baby Jesus
Gets left out at Christmas time
It is not about the money
Oh, money cannot buy love
And I saw the light that Christmas night
With help from up above
[Chorus]
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She was not happy like angels ought to be
She was crying when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
[Outro]
She said that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
