It's Christmas - Melanie

I can remember back when we were small

We would start counting the days 'till it all

Would begin once again, the most magic of times

That started us dreaming of wonders we’d find

The down from the attic our father would bring

Boxes of ornaments, tinsel and things

Like old family treasures, a wreath for the door

It was almost like we’d never seen them before

It’s Christmas

We’ll put up the holly and mistletoe

It’s Christmas

See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow

It’s Christmas

Cards to be sent, carols to be sung

It’s Christmas

With each passing day, the excitement would rise

When no one was looking, my brother and I

Would peek at the presents wrapped so prettily

And carefully put them back under the tree

When Christmas Eve came, we could finally say

That morning would only be one sleep away

We were so excited by what lay ahead

That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed

It’s Christmas

We’ll put up the holly and mistletoe

It’s Christmas

See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow

It’s Christmas

Cards to be sent, carols to be sung

It’s Christmas

Then we’d get up early and run down the hall

To wake up our parents, and then we would all

Still in our pyjamas, pass the gifts out

While wrappings and ribbons were thrown all about

It’s Christmas

We’ll put up the holly and mistletoe

It’s Christmas

See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow

It’s Christmas

Cards to be sent, carols to be sung

It’s Christmas
