歌词
The season is here, but it's just not clear
Why it feels as empty as the rest of the year
The air just gets colder as I'm getting older
I should be cheering up now, but I fall farther down
And Mama, she tells me Santa's skipping our side of town
I cross off the days as December goes on
I guess I know for sure now that my childhood is gone
I just keep on waiting for holiday cheer
I wonder how it's missing when the day is so near
And I say "Merry Christmas", but it just comes off insincere
Under the tree there might be Christmas presents
But it's nothing like Christmas past
And every young boy has a smile on his face
That makes me wish I didn't grow up so fast
I put on my favorite Christmas songs
I sing along and I try to relax
But I found out what no one warned me about
That I'll always miss Christmas Past
I dream of white Christmas like I used to know
But now I throw my back out as I'm shoveling snow
I try Christmas caroling, but get sprayed with mace
And poor old Rudolph's mounted above my fireplace
And even Mama's cookies don't have the same taste
Under the tree there might be Christmas presents
But it's nothing like Christmas past
And every young boy has a smile on his face
That makes me wish I didn't grow up so fast
I put on my favorite Christmas songs
I sing along and try to relax
But I found out what no one warned me about
That I'll always miss Christmas Past
