lyrics

Every year around this time
When the trees all lose their leaves
And department stores fill up with lines
I’m filled up with this need

For falling snow
My childhood home
All the hugs and the kisses
I don’t know
Where the time goes
But I sure miss those days at Christmas

Long ago when I was eight
I can still remember
My parents fought all holiday
That one cold December

The falling snow
My childhood home
All of the broken dishes
Despite these ghosts
Left unatoned
I still miss those days at Christmas

Vince Guaraldi plays in the car
My Dad rolled the windows down
Though it’s snowing hard
We picked up a tree at our local tree lot
Wait til Mom sees what we got

We passed the lake on our way home from town
Rescued a labrador who almost drowned
The ice wasn’t solid in this one little spot
Wait til Mom sees what we got

Ring the bells of Christmas
Guide us all back home
It’s been forever since I’ve been in this place
It’s so good to see your face

Every year around this time
When the trees all lose their leaves
And department stores fill up with lines
I’m filled up with this need

For falling snow
My childhood home
All the hugs and the kisses
I don’t know
Where the time goes
But I sure miss those days at Christmas
