I wanted to write a Christmas song
Let the words just take me back
A simple little Christmas song
But it seems I’ve lost track......
VERSE One
No leaves on the trees, the parade on TV
The balloons and the bands what a day
The Rocketts were a kickin'
Reindeer hoofs were clickin'
Santa rode down the street on his sleigh
Now the season was just getting started
With a Thanksgiving feast to behold
We had so much to do before Christmas arrived
At this time of the year long ago.
Chorus One
I wanted to write a Christmas song
Let the words just take me back
A simple little Christmas song
But it seems I’ve just lost track
Of memories that I cherish still
That come this time of year
SO I wrote this little Christmas song
About memories I hold dear
VERSE 2
Spent weeks baking cookies, never had such a mess
Bought a tree off the lot down the street
We took all day trimming
Couldn't help all the grinning
At the old antique bell on the tree
All the gifts wrapped and tied with a bow
And the house with more lights than last year
There was laughter and song in the air everywhere
Counting days until Christmas got here
Chorus Two
So I wrote this little Christmas song
Let the words just take me back
A simple little Christmas song
But it seems I’ve just lost track
Of memories that I cherish still
That come this time of year
SO I wrote this little Christmas song
About memories I hold dear
Bridge
Verse 3
Santa came overnight, milk and cookies all gone
Presents stacked up all over the place
My first Barbie doll
Bob's new bowling ball
There were smiles on everyone's face
Now the big day is here once again
But I still smell my mom's apple pie
I'll be counting the days until Christmas next year
As I think back to days long gone by
Chorus Three
So I wrote this little Christmas song
Let the words just take me back
A simple little Christmas song
And it seems I've not lost track
Of memories that I cherish still
That come this time of year
So I wrote this little Christmas song
About memories I hold dear
So I wrote this little Christmas song
Let the words just take me back
My simple little Christmas song
