[Verse]
It was Christmas '85, snow was falling down,
The quiet of the evening in our little town.
I crept up the hallway, just a curious kid,
What I saw in his room, Grandpa never hid.
[Chorus]
Grandpa was Santa Claus, I found out that year,
With his suit and his boots and a belly full of cheer.
He tried to hush me, but I laughed so loud,
That Christmas '85, I’ve never been so proud.
[Verse 2]
His hands shook a bit as he pulled on the red,
A twinkle in his eye, a hat on his head.
He turned with a wink, said, "Keep this a secret, son,"
But I knew right then, he was the magical one.
[Chorus]
Grandpa was Santa Claus, I found out that year,
With his suit and his boots and a belly full of cheer.
He tried to hush me, but I laughed so loud,
That Christmas '85, I’ve never been so proud.
[Bridge]
Now every December, I think back to that sight,
Grandpa in his glory on a cold winter night.
Though he's long gone, his spirit still lives,
In the love and the laughter that Christmas gives.
[Chorus]
Grandpa was Santa Claus, I found out that year,
With his suit and his boots and a belly full of cheer.
He tried to hush me, but I laughed so loud,
That Christmas '85, I’ve never been so proud.
