Christmas Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's not about the weather It's not about stayin' home from work It's not about thinkin' Of how to spend the bonus that you earned It's not about presents Though oftentimes it feels as if it were It's not about singin' The carols you remember word for word [Pre-Chorus] And all these things are special But they come and go, and life's the same 'Cause memories and things just fade away [Chorus] So when the sun comes up And it's Christmas Day I don't want nothing getting in the way 'Cause God's own Son opened Heaven's gates And that's why That's why I got joy on Christmas Day [Verse 2] It's not about movies The ones that you can quote the whole way through It's not about stockings And fireplaces warming up the room It's not about feasting And groaning when you've eaten too much food It's not about the tree and lights By now I'm guessing you already knew [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause all these things are special But they come and go, and life's the same 'Cause memories and things just fade away [Chorus] When the sun comes up And it's Christmas Day I don't want nothing getting in the way 'Cause God's own Son opened Heaven's gates And that's why That's why I got joy on Christmas Day I've got joy on Christmas Day So when the sun comes up And it's Christmas Day I don't want nothing getting in the way 'Cause God's own Son opened Heaven's gates And that's why That's why I got joy on Christmas Day
