When I Was Young

[djbride]

My Christmas original for this year.
Kinda sappy lyrics, but thats me.  


Lyrics -
Waiting on Old St. Nick, Hope he gets here really quick,
I'm looking for reindeer and a sleigh,
Christmas trees and lights galore, so much more than I've seen before, Seems like it was just yesterday,

And the best gift are the memories of Christmas when I was young,
I will remember and always treasure Christmas when I was young,

Christmas Eve couldn't get to sleep, trying not to make a peep, Just waiting for morning to come,
Can't wait for Santa Claus, just hoping that I saw, What Christmas has become,

And the best gift are the memories of Christmas when I was young,
I will remember and always treasure Christmas when I was young,

These days there's too much stress, sometimes I must confess, I yern for those simple days,
Life can get so complicated and it can't be understated, I wish those days never went away,

And the best gift are the memories of Christmas when I was young,
I will remember and always treasure Christmas when I was young

DJB, hey now this isn't bad at all. It actually reminded me of Bruce Springsteen and his E-Street Band.
That glorious, swirly organ part thrumming away, and with the childhood memories (surely the best Christmas times), it really does cut the festive mustard. Well done.

Great song Dave, really sums up the spirit of Christmas for me. I had fantastic times as a kid and even as  raging atheist I always love Xmas. Time to forget work, spend time with family and share the joy. Looking forward to it and your song just added to the anticipation!

Cheers,
