I'll Believe in You Lyrics

I'll Believe in You


[EMILY]
So, in the spirit of Christmas, what do you want for Christmas?

[MICHAEL]
I don't know, I only know what I don't want for Christmas.

I don't want a check
That's made out to cash,
Or a corporate re-gift
From some secret stash.

I'd like a day with my dad.

[EMILY]
Just a day?

[MICHAEL]
Make that two.
If you can do that, Santa,
I'll believe in you.

[EMILY]
I don't want a trip
To some hip salon,
Or trendy perfume
I'll never put on.

I'd like to feel like he cares,

[MICHAEL]
Even if it's not true.

[MICHAEL & EMILY]
If you can do that, Santa,
I'll believe in you.

Even though it's been years
Since you've heard from me,
I thought it was worth a shot.
If it's true that you're magic, I guarantee,
We could use all the magic you've got.

[MICHAEL]
I can get you some cookies,
If that's what it takes.
I've heard stories, and I know the deal.

[MICHAEL & EMILY]
You just slide down the chimney
And fix our mistakes.
Now if only I thought you were real...

[MICHAEL]
If you were real.

[EMILY]
I guess that's our list,
Our letter is done.

[MICHAEL]
Is it really a list
If it adds up to one?

[MICHAEL & EMILY]
Make him part of our lives,
Not just passing through.
If you can do that, Santa,
I'll believe in you.

Yes, if you do that, Santa,
I'll believe in you.
So, good luck, Santa—
Here's hoping you come through.

[EMILY]
Signed, Emily.

[MICHAEL]
And Michael, too.
