Story Behind The Song

Robyn Scott was doing some final wrapping of Christmas presents when she heard a loud thud. A large clump of snow had fallen off of the metal roof of her house and landed on the back deck. The thought of hearing Santa and his reindeer landing on the roof popped in to her head. Robyn dropped what she was doing and exchanged wrapping paper and tape for her guitar so she could write a song. At some point during the night Robyn send me a message asking if I would like to help her write a new song she was working on. Together we went back and forth online sharing ideas and quick audio sample until finally at 5am the following morning the writers demo for I SAW SANTA LAST NIGHT was ready.

Lyrics

I SAW SANTA LAST NIGHT

Chorus:
I heard Santa last night
I saw Santa last night
Well I couldn't believe my ears
But I couldn't deny my eyes
I saw Santa last night

Verse 1:
I was sitting in the kitchen wrapping up some final gifts
Sipping on some eggnog a little cup of cheer
When all of a sudden up on top of that roof
What is the crazy ruckus that I hear

Chorus:
I heard Santa last night
I saw Santa last night
Well I couldn't believe my ears
But I couldn't deny my eyes
I saw Santa last night

Verse 2:
Well I Pulled on my coat and boots and grabbed my mitts and hat
Step out of the door so I could see this for myself
When I looked up on that roof and they were staring back at me
Eight Reindeer with a sleigh pulling an Elf...

Chorus:
I heard Santa last night
I saw Santa last night
Well I couldn't believe my ears
But I couldn't deny my eyes
I saw Santa last night

Bridge:
With the wink of an eye
And a touch of his nose
They flew into the night
With a Ho Ho Ho

Chorus:
I heard Santa last night
I saw Santa last night
Well I couldn't believe my ears
But I couldn't deny my eyes
I saw Santa last night

Tag:
I saw Santa last night
I saw Santa last night
