Christmas Time Is Not the Same lyrics

Every year I make a list, I check it twice, don't wanna miss

My family and friends I've known, come back to me

like falling snow

And as I put the pen to page and think of your familiar face

And what I'd give, just to write your name

And tell you:

Christmas time is not the same

When I was a kid, it was my favourite day

And now it hurts to love and it hurts to give

Knowing we're gonna lose each other

But maybe that's what makes it a gift

I can see that little girl again, waking up her mother

and her father

Asking "Can I please open one gift early?"

And as I watch the spell get broken well before the sun's awoken

Wish I could say, you're gonna miss these days

And tell you:

Christmas time is not the same

When I was a kid, it was my favourite day

And now it hurts to love and it hurts to give

Knowing we're gonna lose each other

But maybe that's what makes ...

And I still hear all the songs and the games

When you were still here and I could just call out your name

And say:

Christmas time is not the same

When I was a kid, it was my favourite day

And now it hurts to love and it hurts to give

Knowing we're gonna lose each other

But maybe that's what makes it ...

Christmas time is not the same

When I was a kid, it was my favourite day

And now it hurts to love and it hurts to give

Knowing we're gonna lose each other

But maybe that's what makes it a gift
