Something That Santa Claus Left Behind

 is a Christmas song written and performed by Peter Cetera.

Lyrics
They woke up early on Christmas morning They saw the presents all around the tree It was everything they ever wanted They were happy as happy can be

All at once something caught their eye On the floor 'neath the stockings on the chimney It was certainly a big surprise Everyone wondered what could it be

It was red and then green Silver then gold Hard to explain but a sight to behold A magical shimmering whirling delight And maybe it was meant for children to find Or something that Santa Claus left behind

So incredible and so exciting As they followed it around the room But it was late and they were getting sleepy Christmas Day had ended too soon

And when they woke up in the morning They tried to find it but it disappeared Mother said don't be disappointed Maybe you'll find it again next year

It was red and then green Silver then gold Hard to explain but a sight to behold A magical shimmering whirling delight And maybe it was meant for children to find Or something that Santa Claus left behind

The moral of the story When you're going to bed tonight If you dream and you just believe it It just might come true It could happen to you

It was red and then green Silver then gold Hard to explain but a sight to behold A magical shimmering whirling delight And maybe it was meant for children to find Or something that Santa Claus left behind

It was red and then green Silver then gold Or something that Santa Claus left behind Hard to explain but a sight to behold It just might come true It could happen to you

It was red and then green Silver then gold Or something that Santa Claus left behind Hard to explain but a sight to behold It just might come true It could happen to you
