(it Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus Lyrics - When My Heart Finds Christmas - Harry Connick, Jr.

I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve 

My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe 

It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat 

And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that 

And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door 

The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four 

He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because 

He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus 

I think my daddy sees me 

Peeking from my door 

But he pretends he's Santa anyway 

Every year he tries to fool me 

But I'm a big kid now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh 

No way 

So I went back to bed and I curled up nice and tight 

I stared out my window and looked into the night 

And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see 

Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me 

Santa Claus, Santa Claus 

It must've been ol' Santa Claus 

Santa Claus, Santa Claus 

Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you 

Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside 

He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride 

I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh 

Then ol' Santa took me up up and away 

We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below 

I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show 

It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said 

"Little kids like you should be in bed" 

So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!" 

And I put on Santa's hat 

Then he let me hold the reins awhile 

We pulled up to my window 

And I jumped back in my room 

And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile 

When I woke up Christmas morning it was clear and bright 

My parents said my window had blown open in the night 

I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat 

And they asked me where I got my big red hat 

Santa Claus, Santa Claus 

It must've been ol' Santa Claus 

Santa Claus, Santa Claus 

Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
