Lyrics
Christmas is for remembering
© 2010 Bruce Mills (SOCAN BMI)
Christmas is a time for remembering
For turning back the clock to days gone by
The falling snow and mistletoe and happy days ago
Carols on the radio and everyone is singing
Christmas is a time for remembering
When we were young and life was like a dream
The fireplace burning bright on this starry winter night
Christmas memories gather near
Chorus
There's turkey dinner cooking on the old wood stove
And presents all wrapped up in fancy bows - oh, oh
Uncle Joey dressing up like Santa Claus
But was that really him - we'll never know!
Christmas is a time for remembering
When everything that's old is new again
When everybody's heart is filled with family
Christmas is the sweetest memory
Bridge
Electric trains and aeroplanes
And candy canes and monopoly games
And window panes and reindeer names that everyone should know
Footsteps so familiar on the old wooden stairs
Little ones are waiting for their Christmas bedtime story
Christmas is a time for remembering
The days and years so quickly pass us by
Loved ones that are gone - and loved ones that remain
Come together every Christmas day!
Instrumental
Chorus
For - turkey dinner cooking in the kitchen on the stove
There's presents all wrapped up in fancy bows
There's still a special visit from Santa Claus
Who he is this year - nobody knows - no, no!
+Christmas is a time for remembering
For looking back over all the years
For falling snow and mistletoe and happy days ago
Christmas memories gather near
Christmas memories always bright and clear
At Christmas time everyone we love is gonna be here!
