| You’re as slow as christmas, I was up before the dawn
|
| Up so fast I missed it or was that old saying wrong
|
| Every christmas day makes every other day seem long
|
| And what seemed would never get here
|
| Has so quickly come and gone
|
| I’ve heard old sayings, old cliches and
|
| Most of them make sense
|
| But we’re wiser in our younger days not easily convinced
|
| There’s no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes
|
| And it seems that santa’s sled isn’t the only thing that flies
|
| (Chorus)
|
| We’re bringing in another year let’s throw the old one back
|
| With my new train I’ll be the engineer
|
| And hurry down the track
|
| While I know that time is standing still
|
| I hear that old cliche
|
| And I’m more convinced it does until that
|
| One december day
|
| (Chorus 2x)
|
| When I’m as slow as christmas
|
| I’ll be up before the dawn
|
| I’m gonna miss this
|
| I know that old saying’s wrong
|
| Every christmas day makes other day seem long
|
| And what seemed would never get here
|
| Has so quickly come and gone,
|
| Come and gone |
