Lyrics
Christmas isn't much
Why it's just a lot of cold
And a bunch of blowing snow
That's Christmas
I feel this way sometimes
Then a memory comes to mind
Of another place, another time
On Christmas
When we all sang Christmas songs
Built a snowman on the lawn
The family gathering at the farm
For Christmas
We had a fancy Christmas feast
Said a prayer before we'd eat
Asked for happiness and peace
On Christmas
There was tinsel on the tree
candy canes, a Christmas wreath
Mistletoe above the hall
Saying Merry Christmas one and all
Life goes by so fast
So few things were meant to last
Like the feeling set aglow
In the midst of winter's cold
I've been away so long
This year I'm going home
I'm tired of this alone
On Christmas
I'm going back to see
All my friends, my family
In search of all the memories
Of Christmas
When we all sang Christmas songs
Built a snowman on the lawn
The family gathering at the farm
For Christmas
We had a fancy Christmas feast
Said a prayer before we'd eat
Asked for happiness and peace
On Christmas
On Christmas day, on Christmas
