My Younger Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See, I can remember the days when I was so excited I couldn't sleep And every present that sat under the tree was there for me I used to wish for a lot I might even write a list so I never forgot what I was thinking about And then I'd mail it off and wait to see if my wishes would come true, true [Pre-Chorus] Every time I look at the stars at night up in heaven (Up in heaven) I could reminisce how Christmas used to be (How it used to be) As a child, I remember life seemed so much better (So much better, so much better) How I long to go back to those Christmases [Chorus] I miss my younger days of Christmas Oh, I miss my younger days of Christmas (Younger days of Christmas) Said I miss my younger days of Christmas (Mmm, mmm) I reminisce about my younger days of Christmas [Verse 2] See, I can remember running around, playing in the snow Tricking little girls under the mistletoe Love and joy everywhere All the beautiful sounds of Christmas Eve in the air Mama's in the kitchen cooking While the rest of the family sits around the tree How I wish I could turn back the hands of time 'Cause Christmas ain't the same to me, yeah [Pre-Chorus] Every time I look at the stars at night up in heaven (Every time, every time, every time) I could reminisce how Christmas used to be (Reminisce how it used to be) As a child, I remember life seemed so much better (That December, I tell ya, it was better) How I long to go back to those Christmases [Chorus] I miss my younger days of Christmas (Younger days at Christmas) Oh, I miss my younger days of Christmas (My younger days, hey hey, the good times we had) Said I miss my younger days of Christmas (You remember, Trey said you remember) I reminisce about my younger days of Christmas I miss my younger days of Christmas (Oh oh, do you miss the way I miss?) Oh, I miss my younger days of Christmas (Long long ago, everybody oughta know) Said I miss my younger days of Christmas I reminisce about my younger days of Christmas (You know I do, hey) [Outro] Every time I look at the stars at night up in heaven I could reminisce how Christmas used to be As a child, I remember life seemed so much better (You know I did) How I long to go back to those Christmases
