[Verse 1]
Laying back in my easy chair late last Christmas eve
Silent night, twinkling lights, presents 'round the tree
I heard my little girl's two bare feet coming down the stairs
She was sad as I looked over, dragging her teddy bear

[Chorus]
She said, "Now, daddy, I had me a dream
A little angel came down to me
She wasn't happy like angels ought to be
She was crying when she gave me the message for all the world to hear
You know Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus sometimes this time of year"

[Verse 2]
So, with her head on my shoulder and her tears mixed with mine
I thought how little baby Jesus gets left out at Christmas time
It ain't about the money, oh, money can't buy love
And I saw the light that Christmas night with help from up above

[Chorus]
She said, "Now, daddy, I had me a dream
A little angel came down to me
She wasn't happy like angels ought to be
And she was crying when she gave me the message for all the world to hear
You know Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus sometimes this time of year"
[Outro]
She said that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus sometimes this time of year
