Oh, Christmas joy, where did you go?

I lost that feeling long ago!

Those magical nights of rosy glows

Where Jack frost nibbled at ya toes

 

The wide-eyed wonder, of wondrous things

Locked in a box where no bell rings 

I wonder where, the wonder went

To sing away my heart's lament 

 

I smile In dreams 

Of Christmas past.

That rosy glow we thought

would last. 

A sprinkle of wonder

In wide-eyed bliss. 

Mistletoe hanging for a virgin kiss. 

We believed in magic 

For a little while. 

Such sights & sounds sent to

beguile. 

If only we'd kept them in a little box, 

to open 

when age

Tick tock, tick tocks 

 

But, somewhere, a child is lost inside 

Unable to shake that childish pride

It longs to sing & dance & sway 

But always turns the other way 

 

Yet, there's the tree, in front of me

A reminder of who I used to be

The star, it shines…it shines like joy

Inside, there stirs that little boy

 

I feel the snow

I feel the cold

A feel the age of tales untold

I feel the magic

The lanterns glow

The place where lonely childhood's go

 

I feel the child inside of me

Christmas, how it used to be

Oh, Take me back to days of old

Where magic lay in my mother's hold

 

I smile In dreams 

Of Christmas past.

That rosy glow we thought

would last. 

A sprinkle of wonder

In wide-eyed bliss. 

Mistletoe hanging for a virgin kiss. 

We believed in magic 

For a little while. 

Such sights & sounds sent to

beguile. 

If only we'd kept them in a little box, 

to open 

when age

Tick tock, tick tocks
