Christmas is for Children

When I was a boy, I loved the presents under the tree Garland and pine cones, red Christmas stockings, and the toys Santa brought for me With my mother and dad, we spent the morning so happily These are my memories of Christmas There were icicles, snow, and winter winds on window panes The fireplace was crackling, Mom made hot cocoa, Dad and me with our new toy train And the cookies and candies, oh, to be back there again! A child again, home at Christmas Some will say Christmas is for Children And old folks like me should stay out of the way But someplace inside of me Deep down and hard to see There's still a young boy who wants it to be Christmas Day When I was a young man, all my plans changed suddenly I met a young lady, and she looked at me as if I was all the world to see T'was the night before Christmas when I asked her to marry me These are the best times, at Christmas And then soon, there were footsteps on our stairs on Christmas Eve Two sleepy young watchers, in PJs and slippers, hoping Santa'd come and see The eggnog and fruitcake they'd left out so carefully I still recall this special Christmas Some folks think Christmas is for Children And sooner or later we all feel that way But somewhere inside of me Something still longs to be Lost in the wonderful magic that comes Christmas Day We all have our favorites that make life worthwhile And Christmas has always been mine The ways of the world turn to peace and good cheer As mens' hearts sing out for a joyous new year It's all so much more than just feelings and sounds It's good times, with dear folks, when love's all around 5 o'clock, Christmas morning, gifts from Santa...everywhere! The tree lights are twinkling, I've got a hot cocoa, snug and warm in my easy chair With my eye on the staircase, soon my grandkids will be there Jumping with joy 'cause it's Christmas! They'll rush down to the tree, as I did, so long ago They'll love all their presents, their red Christmas stockings, maybe later, play in the snow And I'll sit here remembering every Christmas that I've known That's my favorite thing about Christmas I know why Christmas is for Children Because each of us is a child in some way And sometimes, inside of us We need hope, peace and trust We wish that Christmas could be all the time, every day
