I met a little fellow with a letter in his hand
He asked me if I'd post it in the box for Fairyland
I slipped it in the mailbox for that little curly head
It seemed to make him very happy as he smiled, and said
I'm sending a letter to Santa Claus
My letter I hope he'll receive
Oh, I wonder if he will please remember me
When he calls on Christmas Eve
He'll get a lot of letters for playthings
From other girls and boys
But I want my soldier daddy
He's better than all the toys
And so I'm sending my letter to Santa Claus
To bring daddy safely home to me
