When We Were Kids At Christmas

Verse 1

When we were only just so high
We sat on Santa’s knee
With a very long list of special  gifts to deliver on Xmas eve
Then early Xmas morning we’d open all our toys
Snowflakes fallin, mamas callin’ “wake up girls and boys “!
It was so very long ago but its like yesterday to me
When we were kids at Xmas
When we were kids at Xmas

Verse 2

Can you remember, late december 1958?
Beneath the tree a hoola hoop , your very first roller skates
Stockings filled with chocolate kisses, green and red jelly beans
Chipmunk songs, arumapumpums and starlet Xmas dreams
I can see us singin carols close together by the tree
When we were kids at Xmas
When we were kids at Xmas

Bridge

And even now don’t you love the lights that glow?
Don’t you get excited, when it starts to snow?
It’ll always be a thrill finding gifts under the tree
Xmas magic lives in the hearts of kids
Big kids like you and me

Verse 3

Those snowball fights in front of school, our faces rosy red
Goin to the park with friends to race our brand new sled
Walkin along with mom and dad, knee-deep in snow
On our way to the music hall to see the Xmas show
Those treasured times we used to have are in our memory
When we were kids at Xmas
When we were kids at Xmas
