What Do Toys Dream?
Dolls and games, puzzles and toys!
Waiting in silence for their girls and boys!
They've been here all night since St. Nick dropped them off!
The big bike he brought for Tommy is covered up with a cloth!
This place is SO quiet - they all wonder at this!
Somehow this is different - is THIS what Christmas is?
Could Santa have "goofed" and picked the wrong night?
Where are the children? - this just doesn't seem right!
The beautiful Evergreen is dressed in its bright Christmas wear!
But it's ever SO dark - no twinkling lights there!
The toys sit there and think about this a long, long time!
Then the sun starts to come up--6:00 A.M. the clock chimes!
All of a sudden, the whole house comes to life!
Down the stairs come the children, the husband, the wife!
The children are squealing, their excitement goes wild!
The toys are so happy - - they NOW belong to a child!
That's what ALL toys dream of, in case you didn't know!
To see the happiness and joy - of a child's "special" glow!!
